One huge regret I have is getting depressed after my Granny passed away. I was 8 at the time and we got the devastating phone call early Monday morning. I remember it because I didn\u2019t go to school for the rest of the week. But I remember being sad everyday and not knowing why. I didn\u2019t understand why I was so sad until I got older and learned what depression was. Then I realized that I was depressed. I started to gain weight, being silent, being mean. I was a hot mess. But when I turned 11 I realized she was in a better place and that I didn\u2019t need to worry about her. I realized she didn\u2019t have to worry about anything and she didn\u2019t have anymore health issues. I realized that God took her for a reason. And although I miss her very much, I know she\u2019s in a better place.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
