I am a very optimistic and determined person. We’ve all heard about the girl raped‚ abused‚ or even in foster care right? Luckily‚ I was neither of the those. Although just because I have never been that girl doesn’t mean I haven’t had my own struggles and obstacles I have had to overcome. Obstacles that made me who I am. The ones that gave me my identity.

be unspoken is not only the darkness related to the topic itself‚ but in fact‚ what comes after it (if anything at all). For as long as humans have inhabited the earth‚ people have had their own theories about afterlife.

It was not easy have to adapt to a different atmosphere from where I grew up. I unfortunately had no other choice to but to follow where my parents went. Moving to a housing track with only two inches between each house is a big difference from a huge house in the “country”. Not only is it a big change in atmosphere but I had to leave all my friends behind. I still to this day miss living where I grew up. Imagine a huge U shaped house built out of nice red brick and wood‚ sitting right o top of
