‘Moments in our lives that define who we are’ When we are born we are defined by our surroundings‚ particularly family‚ our culture and religious beliefs.

“Perfect!” As always‚ I leap out of my bed at the first ring‚ hastily change out of my night clothes‚ and run down the stairs to eat my breakfast. Breakfast was always the same: 2 eggs; sunny side up‚ 3 slices of bacon; over-cooked to the perfect amount of crisp‚ and a glass of 2% fat milk in my favorite mug; the “Employee of the Month” mug from 3 years ago.

One aha moment that i had in life is when I realized that i worked hard and stopped slacking to get into normal classes‚ and made my ADHD not be an obstacle when it comes to school. I used that to give me a drive to get out of the small classes‚ and now next year I will be in all regular classes.

crushing pressure and dark‚ dank air felt like my only company. I was dying‚ or so every part of my being was telling me. The immense‚ clutching pains radiating from my chest to my jaw could be only one thing… a heart attack.

won’t come‚ my heart pounding. I don’t know what time it is and for a minute I don’t know where I am‚ I’m still trapped in whatever hellscape I was in. It takes me another minute to realise that I am home in my bed‚ and another minute to calm my racing heart and even out my breathing. In and out‚ in and out‚ over and over again until I’ve calmed down. At this point I’m too exhausted to go to find my parents so I settle for trying to sleep‚ even though exhaustion claws at the back of my throat I can’t

Part of my struggle was that I believed that my thoughts and ideas were too fragile for the harshness of the world and refused to let them see the light of day. Everyone around me was evolving; they were finding the thing that made them “them”. My sister had law school‚ my cousin had music and all my friends
