Dear Bay City, Bay city I hate you so much. I stayed in a mental fog daily for the last 2 years of my life. You turned me into someone I never thought I would be. You stripped me of all hope & happiness. You taught me how to fake it every single day to make others happy. You brought me more misery than hope. You had me feeling trapped and without a way out. You brought so many more tears than laughter. BUT leaving you taught me that I am strong. That there is a way out. That there is happiness and laughter. You made me grow up, heal and forgive the past. You taught me that life is short and you only get one. You taught me how to trust in myself and not let religion run my life or my kids. You taught me it's okay to GROW UP and move on. So f&* $ you Bay City. But also thank you for the life lesson. Sincerely, PM
