A Time When My Life Changed Direction

Marcial Reyes

 

Right now, I am in a place, not a good place, because I have to pay for my mistakes. Sometimes I ask why my life is not different or normal? I don’t want to blame anybody because I don’t think there is only one solution for my problems. The time or moment when my life started to change is about 15 years ago when I was 12 or 13 years old. Maybe I came from a broken home. I don’t remember my father and me ever having some time together. I grew up in the middle of family problems. My mother was very strong with me. I don’t remember my mother ever saying to me I love you son. I had all the material things in my house, but not understanding, or love. That makes a big difference to me today. I understand that. When I started to grow up during my adolescent process, I started looking for things that I didn’t have in my home in bad places with bad people. The result of those actions or mistakes and problems was jail time and there were several times that my life was at risk. In the past I changed my life in a bad direction. Today I am 29 years old. I want to change my life in a good direction.
