Chapters
Growing up, I felt lost. I didn't feel like I had a lot of love. I needed a dad in my life, and I needed my dad to love on me, so I didn't get that. I turned to the streets. I was in the streets hard. When I decided to go on this journey, it was like God directed me to the right family member. He told me that my dad had been looking for me. I messaged Reggie, and I got a message maybe not even an hour later. When I first met Reggie's family, I was excited because they're all really nice people. They were all very inviting. I just wasn't, you know, I wouldn't say jealous, but I did see that my life could have been better if I had my father in my life. I know my life would have been different.
