My story changes from time to time
Like everyone else's. I just tell mine a bit different every time.
Most of the people that I have met in Molalla,
has gone to school together since Elementary school.
I never got that. I went to 5 different elementary schools
and was never able to keep friends.
I went to 3 different middle schools but I got to have some friends.
Straub, Jefferson, Molalla.
I moved around a lot because of my parents divorce when I was in the 1st grade.
Sublimity, Stayton, Silverton, Salem, Jefferson, Salem, Molalla, Las Vegas, Bend.
Some of them, I have had numerous addresses in, like Salem.
I had 3 addresses there.
I was never able to fit in with any groups, even now I still don't.
But I am okay with that.
Because it gives me some peace and quiet.
And I'm not afraid of being different.
Because everyone is unique in their own way.
For me, I was born on my sister's 1st
birthday, which was 3 months from my actual due date.
Yes, not a lot of people know that and I am not
ashamed to talk about it.
I have a lot of my life to talk about.
But some of it is too painful to talk about.
Like with all my surgeries.
I have had many eye surgeries and a couple of MRI's.
I was born with a lazy eye and
I wasn't supposed to live when I was born.
I was supposed to die because I was premature.
With writing, I can explain my life without
the fear of being judged.
And I can defy all the odds, every single day, and live my life to the fullest without living in fear.
