Me.
The life of Adam.
Living in Orlando, FL for the past 2 1/2 years has been such a challenge for me. I originally moved here from Niceville, FL , which is where I had been living my entire life.
Orlando was such a culture shock. I decided to come here my senior year because I had/have the dream of going onto becoming a doctor like my father. I quickly declared my Major Molecular and Microbiology pre-med. At first life was great! Living on my own, feeling smart, and being around extremely fun people….
Somewhere around that time I also met an amazing guy who sincerely loved me. He called me beautiful and treated me well. Everything seemed perfect.
Unfortunately, that part of my life was short-lived. In fact for the past year (fall 2008-spring 2009) I slowly sank into depression. I missed my family, I missed my friends, I was loosing weight, I was unhappy, I didn’t wanna get out of bed, my grandmother died, my parents and I fought, and eventually after a year and a half my boyfriend and I called it quits. Everyday I think about him still and wonder how he is doing. Sadly to him, I no longer exist. I am still heartbroken for this very reason because I love him so very much.
Over the summer, I took some time to gather my life back together and look at the person I had become. It was not the same Adam that everybody knew in high school nor was it the same Adam throughout my entire sophomore year of college. Sadly, I imagine that it was much of that reason that led to my boyfriend and I breaking up. From putting it all into perspective, I realized how much I let myself become something I wasn’t.
Today I feel like the old Adam again. I’m happy to be alive everyday and sing in the shower every night when in fact, there is no music. I love everything around me and am fascinated by humanity and animals. I am me. Adam Haskin. I still have plans to later become a doctor and am striving to do my very best at everything I do. For this I pray, I hope, and dream.
Although I’ve been through much trouble in the past year, it’s helped me realize the person I don’t want to be. It’s also helped me reestablish my life goals and dreams but most importantly, helped me become a better man.
