My obstacles started as a baby. I was conceived when my mother was only thirteen years old. She lost custody of me and my older three siblings

I am a Psychic/ Medium and a Wiccan. Even just one of those words can make people cringe‚ so imagine telling them that I am all three? There used to be a time when I cared what people would think and say about me. Thankfully‚ those days are long gone and now I feel so free with my mind‚ body and soul. But growing up‚ I always felt unsettled and out of place. I could never understand why I saw or heard the things I did. Growing up I was treated for many things: depression‚ mental issues and a whole

I am an abnormal person (most of the time in a good way.) My personality is eccentric‚ along with my hobbies and skills. Much of my life is aberrant from beginning to end. The only thing that is boring is my name‚ Taylor‚ which my parents happily gave me. Surprisingly enough‚ I was not named after anyone‚ which I find very uninteresting.

Cultural Narrative: Who Am I? Part I: In some ways I guess you could say I am not very cultured‚ in that sense there is not a wide variety of cultural influences around me. With that being said‚ my family still has a large assortment of different traditions we do from decorating the tree at Christmas to going up to my grandparents house for Thanksgiving and making the same dishes every year. The area I live in is just not very diverse‚ it never has been. I live in Alpharetta‚ Georgia where the majority

you’re a coward? I got my draft notice June 17‚ 1968. That was two weeks ago. Right now I am close to the Canadian border. I can’t face my family after getting the draft notice. I wouldn’t have been able to watch the sorrow and discouraged look in my father’s eyes as I told him I wasn’t going. How would I look as a brother if I didn’t fight for my family? Am I considered a coward if I don’t go‚ or am I a coward if I follow society’s pressure to fight a war I don’t believe in? I put the draft notice
