"And if I had to, I would do it all again".
I get asked all the time if I can go back in time and change things would I? The answer is simple. Absolutely not. The trials and tribulations, and the fire that I had to walk through just to get to where I am today was worth every single lesson and loss that I experienced.
It was because of the things I went through that I was able to learn so much and such a short amount of time. I was forced to grow up quicker more than most would ever realize. I was told by several doctors, police officers, and therapists that I would be dead by the time I was 25 years old. We are 15 years past that point and I'm still here. I'm still strong, and I'm still holding on.
If I could go back and do it all again I would do it the exact same way I did because nothing will ever take the memories and moments that I created for myself away from me.
Most people want to be rich and famous and successful, they want to have that big money contract somewhere.
But me? All I ever wanted to do was just live.
I am very much alive, and my existence is to make it everybody else's problem.
