I’m literally on a mission to bring happiness to everyone around me, especially my family

I am a middle child, I have an older brother, younger sister. I was raised in Miami, single mother doing it all on her own. I am the only person in my family who’s, what you would say, escaped a generational curse. I see certain things that my family doesn’t. They all are stressed out and mainly depressed, you know, about life.

I’m the only one trying to bring them out of that mindset into a better life. So I’m literally on a mission to bring happiness to everyone around me, especially my family and to my nieces and nephews, to help them not be raised with a poor mindset. I’m trying to bring everybody into a better situation in life, first starting with myself. And I’m doing pretty good right now. To sum it up. I’m a hero to my family.

My mom came from the ghetto of Puerto Rico so she was raised with a poor man’s mind set. She raised me with that mindset so I got beat pretty badly, me and my siblings. She would do drugs as well as she was raising us. I forgive her for everything she’s done.

I realize her mother is crazy, she is a schizophrenic and my grandfather is an alcoholic, died of alcoholism. My mother was raised with the most terrible conditions. She could only teach us what she learned from her childhood. That’s why I’m here, to break that curse. I’m here to change the mindset of my whole family, the legacy, you know.

I can’t say that I had a stuffed animal but my dogs would be the closest thing to that, just because when my mother would beat me and my brother and stuff I would run to my dog as comfort. It was something to hold onto and as a kid try to figure out why I’m getting beat so badly for a small little thing that I did. I guess my teddy bear was my dogs.
