I was a hellion as a teenager
When I was 16 , I refused to break up with the boyfriend that my parents hated and they kicked me out( that whole tough love idea) .
I lived/slept in my car for 3 1/2 weeks before I saved enough money to move into an apartment and share rent and expenses with a roommate.
It was no fun..... Middle of winter and my car at that point in time was a piece of shit with no heat or air.
But I made it through it and was on my own ever since then, makes you grow up really fast and learn responsibility in a way others your age never imagine .
Most people who know me would never imagine some of the things I've been through in my life, but I have no regrets. It's all of those things that makeup up who I am today.
