When I was just an infant, my father adopted me, and my life turned around instantly. Not sure what happened to my biological parents, and most of the time it's best not to really think about it. Sometimes things happen in life, and this one of those. It changes people, makes them realize just how special they truly are when they learn to live with what is placed before them instead of dwelling on the past which is easier said than done.

Didn't exactly have much growing up. My father is deaf, and most of the time life is lived in silence, but thankfully I had other aunts and uncles willing to teach me to read and basic communication skills. Sometimes those skills are still lacking. Can't remember the last time I didn't accidentally make a comment that came across a totally different way than I imagined it doing. I'm working on it, though. Living in silence lets me really connect with my inner peace, though. It reminds me that I am alive, and that I can make the best out of the life I've been given.

Hasn't always been that easy.

I've been bullied, and picked on, and most of the time I stand up for myself, but sometimes I just turn the other cheek and refuse to let them know they're getting to me. They want a reaction out of me, and when I started understanding that I began living my life even better. Of course, my girlfriend has helped me out a lot. She came into my life at such a difficult time, and she's been my rock, and we constantly build each other up.

Meditating together has helped us grow closer, and while I am young, I do believe I am in love, and I'm excited for the future.
