I read that far and baaaang ! Now you got me with those lines of a very wise and mature young man. Touché !
( my daughter on my mind )

It can't hurt to get a few $$$ for your wallet :) because you deserve to be rewarded, you should enjoy it. Just don't ever stop singing, dancing and drawing because real happiness comes from your passions in-within.

Being broke can paralyze us but the moment you force yourself to get up and realize you still can move , you know that you can get yourself out of any shit situation. I've done it more than once.
Your story was an honest heart opener for everybody. That's the value what inspires me of even being here around awesome "strangers" like you for that long and I will stay for more.

I'm not particularly old nor particularly young anymore. I did have some falling out with my parents as a younger less understanding KLYE but as they say "Time heals all". While that not might be entirely true for all cases I think with a bit of time, thought and understanding most problems can be dealt with accordingly.

I urge people who are broke, struggling, or hopeless to take damn control of their life. Make something with their life and go for it. At the very worst you fail, but even in failure you will learn and go on to do better and fix your mistakes later on.
