How My Life Changed

Welcome. I'm gonna tell you how my life has changed so I hope you're ready to read this.

When I was 4 days old I was taken away from my real parent's why you ask well because they were always doing things wrong like drugs and alcohol and they never wanted to be clean so they had to give up there parental rights including visitation and contact and it was sad because you would think they would wanna get clean for there kid but no they wanted to leave and abandon me when I was just a baby and that's what happened. My biological mother left for Texas and as for My biological father he's been in and out of prison since I was born and it actually sucks because you would think he would stay out for once I saw him once when I was 18 then recently when I was 20 but he got locked back up for violating his parole once again so yeah there you go.

In the year of 2000 on November 16th, I met my baby sister sam she was also adopted like me. We have the same bio mom but different bio dad's which is weird. but it's ok she is the best sibling I could ever ask for.

At the age of 7 and my sister was 6 we lost our grandpa Larry in the year of 2006 he died right in front of us and it was really scary because he dropped and never came back to life and then at his funeral everyone surrounded us and I was like what are you talking about they were like were sorry to tell you but your grandpa passed away.

At the age of 8, I was told I was adopted by my grandparents which was the greatest day of my life.

When I turned 11 years old I lost hearing in my left ear and I was given multiple hearing tests and failed and that's when I went to the hearing doctor and he said I was completely deaf in my left ear which saddened me.

At the age of 14, I came out as transgender and it was hard coming out to my parents and my sister because they never understood why and it was just hard coming out to my family but I got through it.

At 16 years old I lost someone close to me it was my adoptive father he was very sick we were told in the year of 2015 that he was going to die then on January 24th, 2016 at 8:30 am he passed away in his sleep, unfortunately, I was not here for that I should have been but at the same time, I had medical issues I was dealing with.

At 18 was the first time I saw my bio dad and when my grandmother lost custody of me.

And finally, I am now 20 years old. I am a high school graduate of 2018. I lost my favorite teacher of the year of 2019 due to her having stage 4 lung cancer. in 2018 I lost my cousin jimmy because he got shot for no reason. 2018 I lost my pet rabbit charlie. This year 2020 I got into college I got a cat named Molly and I got into a lot of trouble this year. I never get in trouble with the law but this year was the one I screwed up. This year I got to see my biological father again until March 18th where he got locked up again. This year I got sexually assaulted I am currently in therapy for it so yeah you can say this year has been hard especially since my dad has been dead for 4 years and it's never been easy but I get through it day by day every second 86,400 seconds in a whole day I never thought I would be sane again but here I am older and better.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
