lost in the fire

heaven sent

IMPORTANT!

When I turned 18, I started working with a family member who did photography and videography, something I had always dreamed of doing. At first, everything felt amazing. But over time, his words started cutting deep. I was called slow, stupid, and made to feel worthless in front of others. Every mistake felt like a shot to the chest.

Eventually, I walked away. But since he was family, I still had to see him at gatherings and holidays, and each time, those old feelings came back. I even tried talking to him, hoping for understanding, but instead, I was met with silence and dismissal.

Even now, his words linger in my mind. But I have learned something powerful. If I let other people’s opinions shape how I see myself, I will never become who I am meant to be. So I let that pain push me to grow, and it has made me stronger.

Because no matter what anyone has said about me, I am still standing. Still learning. Still becoming the man I am supposed to be.
