So what made you give up your dreams, and why? Not saying everyone did, I just want the people who did to tell me why they did it.
I lived a fairly rough life back home. Every since I can remember, drugs and abuse were a huge part of my life. Not me personally, but of my parents. We never had enough money for anything but drugs, alcohol and cigarettes. No food, barely any housing. Never had utilities. Hopped from house to houses of relatives, trying to make sure we had a warm area at night to sleep in. Much more to this story. I'm seventeen now, incase your wondering.
I had just turn 16. I met a nice gal 2.5k miles away from where I lived. I had enough of it one day. I got a job, as terrible as it was, ringing a bell in the freezing cold for the Salvation Army. I saved up enough money, made sure I could become emancipated, and hopped a bus destined for that young lady. I never looked back, never thought about it twice. And guess what?
That chance made my life a whole lot better.
