This is the story of my life—the story of my family’s curse, beginning 102 years ago. Once completed, I know many will question the truths I’m sharing. As I look back, there are moments I can hardly believe myself. I’ve spent my entire life in survival mode and I’m exhausted. The odds have always been stacked against me, yet here I am—still fighting, learning, and striving to become the person I was always meant to be. I’ve often wondered what my purpose in life is. I’m not sure I’ve figured it out yet, but I know one thing: I need to share my story. I believe many people will connect with at least one part of it, and perhaps it might inspire others to keep going and never give up.
