Everyone has their own perspective on what they consider a “perfect life.”
My life was no where near perfect, it was perfectly imperfect and I was completely happy with that. Life isn’t about money, cars or clothes. Yes it’s important but like Notorious B.I.G said “more money, more problems.” I believe happiness is a destination and all that is just luggage.
My name is Iliana and I was given that name the day I was born, July 5tth, 1989.
I was born in Miami and raised by my mom; her and my dad got married young which sadly led to divorce. My mom was a single parent raising 3 kids on her own.

My brothers and I were never in child care, and oh god! How I begged! On the weekends my mom would take us to the movies, the park, basically anywhere we wanted, of course we couldn’t forget our friends.
She’s one of very little parents that were with about 6
