You think you know what it means to be alone. I thought I was strong enough to handle it all by myself. But when I aged out of the system without a family, I felt lost in a way I couldn’t explain.

Hearing my mother say I was a mistake cut deeper than any knife. The words echoed in my mind for years. Some days, I believed them. I felt lost, broken, and unwanted. But in the quiet moments, I glimpsed something different. A spark that whispered, “You can create your own life.”
