Run-fly your on your way to becoming an Eagle, as are so many people, me included, soon you will never want to be like your old self...never....
My experience is somewhat similar, I started reading early 2005, around January time, near my birthday (Jan 15th, coming up soon
) and from then on my life just got better, its nearly been two years now and I havn't even started my journey yet, i'm still learning the basics lol. One piece of advice I can give you is never lose hpe, people will try and bring you down, and pull you back to normality just run away from those people, they don't know whats best for you, despite what they say.
And this is the hardest advice, this is mainly for people in their early to mid teens but it can apply to most people, don't think people in authority (or your parents) know whats best for you, they don't. The yhave your best interests at heart (mostly) but they don't know what is right for you at this very moment, follow your heart and be free. Or you may just end up being the next crappy generation
