Hey all,
I was the "class clown" when I was young. Took years to build self-esteem and self-love. Not that I am done, but I am ever growing.
I sometimes hurt that I didn't grow up like "everyone else." I never went "clubbing," I never got married and had kids, never went to College, etc.. But I did learn alot from my years of struggle, lessons that I wouldn't want to unlearn. Perhaps I have escaped some of the vanity of this world in the process.
The reason why I had problems in my youth is clearly from my mother and my adoption. I did the best I could to survive. But now that I am older and wiser, I can begin to take control of my life and bring about the changes that I want to see. I am not a slave to my past.
