Author Description

I am a girl who was born and raised in Brooklyn, NY. At a young age, I discovered that happiness wasn't all that it seemed to be after I moved in with my mother. I had to accept the life that was given to me as my life drastically changed. I was forced to conform to be something that I wasn't, and over time I grew up enduring confusion and resentment. I quickly matured from the childhood I knew and developed a deep depression and a false identity hidden behind lies. I grew stronger and wiser as I pushed through the emotional, physical, verbal, and sexual abuse. After years of fighting to be my most authentic self, I chose to separate myself from the pain.
