I tried to live my life the way I’d been shown, and early on, it wasn’t as hard to do. But as I got older, choices weren’t so black and white. Love can make you do things that you otherwise would not do.Haven’t you ever done something that you really didn’t want to do, but it was for someone you really loved?I’ve come to understand that sometimes, the places we find ourselves and the experiences we encounter serve to prepare us for our purpose.Now that I have the benefit of age, experience, and wisdom, I can see how the things I went through has shaped the woman I am now. The dreams and goals I have now were not the dreams I started out with.My love and my choices left me facing a ten-year prison sentence!In spite of my choices and what I thought I wanted for my life, my dreams took a different turn. My new dreams have been directly influenced by the direction my life took.Coincidence?Read my story and then you can decide.
