All stories have a beginning - but they are just that - a beginning - not the end. I don't think anyone has a 'perfect' childhood. I don't even know what a perfect childhood would even be? But this I know - beginnings whether awesome or difficult help mold the person you become, but they don't have to define you. People overcome tragedies, and people who have had an 'easy' life can still wind up in horrible situations. I think it comes down to how you handle and process the difficult and wonderful situations in life. Personally, I was born in TN and grew up in MS. ( Please do NOT cue the banjo music - it was nothing like that )
I hope through my self-reflection, readers will see themselves so that they can pause and think, smile or laugh, or try something new. This is my story...
