All things considering

[youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q1cGNw6nMUc]

BEING a witness to my mom defending my life at age 3.

BEING hit by a car and left to die until my mom got off work at age 6. Watching my mother be abused by various boyfriends.

Being a witness to my big brother getting killed at age 9. Drive by shooting.


Watching friends go to juvie and being cast aside at age 12. Getting so drunk I almost died. Over a girl. On a weekend pass home. Robbing Kmart with a 357.

And you wonder why my heart beats no fear ....

Nothing this world can't do to me that hasn't already been done.

I'm TRULY BLESSED TO BE HERE.

That's just PART of my story. So be fair before u judge.

No judgement
You survived
So what purpose will your life have now that you have control?

Life teaches us resilience and gives us grit

@FreeOrchid To pass my knowledge on to others. And to impart that gift.

I survived. And served my country. And still here.


Hugs. Happy 2020 💜
