What is one of the toughest trials you have ever faced? If you don't want to talk about it, I...

losing a very close friend of mine in 2016 and then moving from my home city of Los Angeles to a very small town in Texas in 2017. It was really rough but it taught me a lot of things. Way too many things to go into detail on a single comment but... I wouldn’t change a thing. It hurt more than you can imagine and it still hurts me but it was worth it.

Lost my girlfriend just without talking to her. Lost my friends without talking to them. I been through lots struggles to live.

All this...I need to change worry about building Knowledge. Skills for perfection and try to force to change my life. Sometimes I have to beat myself if I failed.

Moving to another country, starting from scratch and making it to the top in just 4 years. I’m back in my own now, but I loved everything about the one I lived in for those 4 years. It will be my second home.

1. Losing my dad to Sickle Cell Anemia in August, 2011.

2. Screwing up so bad that I had to hit the reset button on life, and being extremely depressed and feeling completely hopeless.

Sorry for your loss, I can empathise.I lost my best friend to suicide too, back in 2002 and found him.
Other toughest trials would have to be fighting suicidal ideation sand attempts since I was 10 years old, beating both cocaine and heroin addiction was another one.

After a very difficult marriage, I had to leave with nothing and start again with no help from anyone. But I did it and although it was hard, I got there in the end.

My father died soon after we emigrated to Canada. We were desperately poor and my mother couldn't emotionally cope, so at 16 I had to take total charge.
