On this day I am 28 years old. I am female and I live in Canada. I have a University education and completed law school but haven't pursued the life of law which is something I may one day get into on here but it won't be today.
I grew up in care of the government and somehow learned to be resilient enough to make it out alive. So many of my "roommates" or other "residents" in the homes I grew up in weren't so lucky. The problem is that now I live in two worlds and they don't mesh so great. I am lost somewhere between my past and my present and still trying to find that path into the future. I feel a great sense of disconnect in life, and as Michael Franti sings in one of his songs "the more I see the less I know."
Where trauma meets triumph I sit with an open heart and a bogged down brain. Too many things to think about tonight but this is only a beginning.
