Months later, I lost my Aunt Pam and my Uncle Omar in the same week, having so many people pass in such little time brought all of those feelings of pain, and heartache back and so did the depression. I struggled to keep it together, but when things got bad my parents did what they thought was right for me more medication, and more therapy. All this death made me really learn to open up to people. I used to never spoke to my therapist, or anyone for that matter and keep everything bottled up.…

    I learned that if he made a mess I was accountable for the mess. From the moment my brother took his first breath I experienced the pressure and excitement of being responsible. Finally, I got the little sister I always dreamed of having. I was excited to have my own real-life doll, well that was until my mom informed me she was not my baby doll (quite disappointing if you ask me). My sister has grown up to be the most determined person I have ever…
