Lets start with a little of my history. I was born in Athens, Alabama. March 5, 1980. At 1:21PM. I am a pisces of course, the mutable water sign, ground is my feet, and ruled by Neptune and Co-ruled by Jupiter. I have always been proud of who I am, and what I am. I believe that Faith in it's own is all a person needs. For without faith there is nothing.
I grew up in a Christian home, graduated from a Penticostal High School. (Gotta love hearing someone preach against your beliefs every Friday at school. LOL) I survived, and so did my faith. So here I am today writing about who I am. I thought it would be a good topic to talk about how my upbringing was, and how it made me who I am. So start the story.
I was raised by my Grandparents (Fathers side) who have always provided for me, my every need. My father never truly did claimed me, at least not until I was 21 years of age. Just called me his other boy. My mother, I did not see from the age of 3 until the age of 17, except for one incident in a hospital. My mother does love me, she was just too young when she had me, and already was having trouble raising my brother as a single parent. My dad and mom divorced once while she was pregnant, were remarried, then devorced again when I was but 6 weeks old. I was abused by someone on my mothers side (physically and other ways) so it was not too hard for my father to gain custody. Then came the abuse of my father. He abused me, mentally, physically, and emotionally, yet I forgive him. If not for that, I would not be the person I am today. Soon after this my grandparents accepted me, and raised me as their own.
I am telling all of this simply because I want people to understand, that even in the worst of situations, the best can be achieved, if you only strive to be better than what you have seen.
Though my life has not been the perfect life. I would change not one thing. Through all of my pains, I have become one thing. I have become me. It seems that what I was carved into over all of these hard times is something I am very proud to be, and will never let anyone take away from me. I have many wonderful friends, and have seen many wonderful things. Simply put, life is what you make of it.
Eternal Blessings,
