Yes, you had an amazing past. God has blessed you your entire life. Your present may not look like how your past was but you were naive then. You look at old pictures of you and see someone who living in bliss. Everything around you was perfect because there was so much that you didn’t know. Then God takes you deeper, higher, and further. You don’t think the same, look the same or even talk the same. If you could even get a glimpse of your future, you would be smiling all the time. But you should smile all the time anyways. Just like your old pictures. Be thankful for what God has done in you and through you. You have stories to tell that others need to hear. There is so much more in store for you. Just wait and see. You will be amazed. It definitely does not end here. It is only the beginning.
