About me......

Life took a drastic change when I found out I was having my first child at the age of eighteen. Making the decison was tough, but I knew leaving school was the right decison to make. Transitioning from a teenager to a parent was an obstacle I wasn't quite prepared to face, and with no education it made the situation worse. By 1999, I was twenty-one, now a single parent of three, a high-school drop out, a thief and a drug dealer. Street life and parenting didn't mix and I refusedto let my children see my life this way, so I asked their grandmother to raise them while I got my life together. Over the years I repressed all my childhood pains, closely protecting myself from any real love or true emotional commitment. Until I decide its time to let the past be in th past. Those closed in walls were suffocating me, and even though I was progessing in my career, I was suffering emotionally. After being in college I began writing essays and short stories and found a passion for writing. With my spare time at home and lunch breaks at work, I began to write my pain away. It helped me discover the cruse that had plagued my life for the last ten years, and when it was finished, I found the emotional break through I yarned for....
