i grew up in a family where i was abused verbally, physically, emotionally and spiritually my parents had (/have - they still have them i just choose to ignore them) so many control issues put on me, it felt like a prison somewhere in my teens i began to somehow figure things out for myself (something guided me, it felt like an uncle figure from the spirit plan) at this time i found joy in seeing a new day and soon i found that other peoples opinions really didn't matter as much as i had been taught and found that as long as i felt strong inside and accepted myself and made only the changes i was interested in, for self improvement, then i was like a blade of grass in a wind and i would bend rather than break now i enjoy my time alone ( i live alone too ) because people somehow are always asking, is this ok, what do you think - sometime i want to shake them and yell 'make up your own mind!' k(no)w one Kill the Ego, Loose the Mind, Use your Brain!
