important event in your life that significantly changed you
What can I say I had a rough childhood and early teenage years. I was betrayed, beaten, manipulated, lied to, humiliated, lost a lot of loved ones, grew up in a crap neighborhood and was living in the projects. I’m just a humble person full of regrets burned out with all the things that has happened but I’m still pushing forward, I still yearn for those peaceful quite day’s but I know they are few and far in between. I don’t let anyone know about my struggles and everything I had to go threw, I would rather be torn apart inside and outside then let people worry about me, probably the best day in my life is finally showing my vulnerabilities to the only person that was at that time she was my significant other. It’s a tragic pattern with me I keep falling back into pretending everything is fine and refusing to look at the bigger picture. I’m very loyal to to my loved ones to the point that I quite literally willing to tear my body to pieces to save someone I care about, I would fight like hell to make sure everybody got out alive including me but if the chips were down and I knew it came down to me or them, the choice is obvious. But I am extremely thankful things have gotten better in life. I would do anything it takes to succeed and achieve my goals and at the end of the day It’s ok to take some time for yourself if you don’t find a chance to rest you’ll be old before your time.
2. your life goals

3. your character for the better
Keep on struggling and keep moving forward, fighting for the sake of living instead of being insecure and feeling sorry for ourselves, even as if you feel the world has taken everything from you that it’ll do nothing but eviscerate all of the good from a miserable experience you call life that despite everything you have endured eventually that very pain, that very rage will consume you whole but it is from that pain that hollowness it is where we find the resolve to continue onward to reignite that very spark that gave us the reason to live, to find what we desire, purpose, understanding, belonging, friends, family. It matters not whether anyone heeds my words nor should I care what you do with them. But a man who lives threw selfishness and anger alone will often stray away from the very light he had forgotten so long ago. Anyways these words seem pretty useless but who knows maybe they’ll do someone some good these days
