Daddy Issues

Do I miss my biological parents? Do I wish I still lived with them?

No and no! These are just some of the few questions I get asked once I tell people I’m adopted and no longer talk to either of my biological parents.

Things happen for a reason! If my biological mother wouldn’t have abandoned me when I was a year old I wouldn’t have the mom that I have now, and quiet honestly I wouldn’t have wished for a better mom. She took me in and raised me as her own when I was three and she was only 18. Who does that at that age? If my biological father wouldn’t have walked out on me when I was 14 I wouldn’t be the person I am now! It wasn’t until I was 15 that I realized a lot of things would change in my life, and my father leaving me was definitely an event in my life that changed me. It made me realize a lot about life and people.

No matter how close you are to a person they will eventually walk out of your life, and that’s just life.

I don’t hate either of my parents, I don’t have the energy to hate them or hold any grudges. They walked out of my life for a reason and maybe I may not see it right now but I know later on in life I’ll realize how different my life would’ve played out if my dad never walked out on me that Saturday morning.

My mom made me realize when I was younger that I don’t need either of them to make something with my life. I don’t really need anyone, if I really want to do something with my life I’ll go and work for it myself (hopefully I find a good sugar daddy because I’m too lazy for life).

I’ve learned throughout the years that a lot of things will be thrown my way and I have to find it in myself to just shrug it off and keep going. If I let things constantly brining me down I’ll only find myself hating everything and everyone.

If I had the chance to go back and change things I honestly wouldn’t, certain events helped me realize who will always be there for me and help me get up whenever I fall and will push me to try my best and motivate me to keep going.
