Growing up, I never felt close to many, and my parents didn’t have the time. My dad was a teacher, my mom wished she was a teacher but worked in an office. The cobbler’s kids don’t have shoes for a reason, and when parents don’t have good mentors, teaching others perhaps is easier, than dealing with their own children.

Being alive is well worth my struggles. All the events that have come to pass over my years are about my choices, the outcomes are now results via my own doing.
