I did. You see, as a baby, I was adopted into a community that was not my own. I stood out to everyone because I was different. Snide comments were made about me, and to be honest, it led to me developing low self-esteem, low self-worth, and, well, I felt totally devalued.

Because of this, I developed a ton of negative emotions and began behaving in such a negative way, that it was almost like I had invited trouble to come into my life, no matter how much my adopted parents tried to help me out. I wound up walking through hell and high water. Had to wrestle with confusion, disillusionment, and fear. Angels, it was rough, but it was also worth it.
