As is sit here wondering, through pain and sorrow, I often think where my life has taken me and if I ever belonged.
I can hear the wind howling through the cracks in my window. Outside is a full moon, so bright that it casts a shadow on the ocean. The sound of the waves crashing against the rocks brings back memories of my childhood. Bad memories.
I grew up in a small country town, isolated from the rest of the world. The days were hot and the nights were cold. I never had any friends, which caused me to get bullied.

Only I knew what it felt like and yet nobody else seemed to care.
When I was 17, I moved once again. This time it was different. I got put with a lady and her 4 foster children. For once in my life I felt welcomed. Everyone cared about each other. However I still felt out of place. I asked myself why are they doing this? Do they want...
