Recently, I was sent to a very humbling place called rehab. I truly hit rock bottom. Till this day I don't think that it was alcohol or depression. I was like a bad kid running around with ADD…

I think it is actually normal for a young girl to go out after a huge divorce. I think it was a bigger issue because I had not gone out in such a long time. I am 25 and I do still have a lot to learn, and I am going to make mistakes everyday, and I am sure every mistake I make will probably be on CNN or Good Morning America. I am only human people and I love you for still loving me.

I just hope this letter made some of you think a little bit more of me and where I am coming from. I just want the same things in life that you want … and that is to be happy. It is just so weird because everyone has their own perception of me and how they think I really am. … I guess we will never really understand or figure out life completely. That's God's job. I can't wait to meet him … or her.
