Turn these music lyrics into an autobiographical inspirational paragraph.

From sprinkler splashes to fireplace ashes
I gave my blood, sweat, and tears for this
I hosted parties and starved my body
Like I'd be saved by a perfect kiss
The jokes weren't funny, I took the money
My friends from home don't know what to say
I looked around in a blood-soaked gown
And I saw something they can't take away
'Cause there were pages turned with the bridges burned
Everything you lose is a step you take
So, make the friendship bracelets, take the moment and taste it
You've got no reason to be afraid

I poured my entire body and soul into my work. I tried to impress everyone by hosting extravagant parties and starving myself so I would fit into the correct clothes. In my head, I thought my peers' affection and admiration for me would save me so I sat quietly by as they made their jokes at my expense. I didn't want to rock the boat and risk being canceled. My old friends were stunned by my cowardice and complacency. Eventually, though, I saw the forest through the trees. I recognized that all of the mistakes I had made and the people I had misplaced my trust in were lessons and signposts to get me to where I am today. Today, I am stronger and more secure in my friendships and who I am as a person.
