Impacts. From the day you were born too currently. Where do you stand? What have you been through? And does it affect you today? Throughout my life I have experienced rape, over dosing, cutting and many anxiety attacks. I’ve seen abuse, my friend getting shot and my brother getting taken away by the cops. As a child, I lived in hell without even realizing it. I share my story to others around me and they ask why I am the way I am. I’m not miserable nor mean to others because of what I have been through. But that’s because I was raised by my strong headed brother that has been through worse than me. He is a runner that lost his freedom once I was born. My mother was being abused by my father which wasn’t safe for me, so my brother was told to raise me. My brother told me stories about when I was a baby, how cute I was and how he promised to always protect me from hell. Only at 15 he dropped out of school to take care of the family and work. Some nights he came home with a black eye and bruised ribs and hugged me and said everything was going to be okay. He was tough and I have grown up tough too. I’ve became a runner once he left. I haven’t seen him in four long years and I have no clue where he has gone, but I know he is safe and he will come back. All runners do. I’m now 16 and I have a mind to my own. These memoires and impacts did not bring me down, they only made me stronger. impacts in our lives make us who we are. Be strong enough to make them worth something. | |
I remember thinking like you but I gave up along time ago. Stay strong! ...i belive in you!!
Your story is inspiring. But please, would you explain to me what exactly a "runner" is? I doubt it's a vision of Bruce Jenner in 70's shorty shorts-
Thanks-
