The Other Side of Life:Through My Eyes.


Two humans of the opposite sex can be fruitful and reproduce. Gravity holds us down tight on this planet Earth formally known as Life. Stay in school,go to college become a doctor or nurse. But that's the logical side of life that's taught and preached. What about the difficult encounters that lie beneath? In this miraculous place called life child hunger,human-trafficking,poverty and racism are in existence.Along with unstable financing and the high cost of living. What about the struggle of a single parent living from check to check,no college degree along with benefits from the state. With hopes and dreams of going to school to achieve a better life someday. You try to pray and go to God for assistance but how much are you able to take. I'm able to say all this not because its fake. It's reality of some of the everyday struggles us young women encounter today.
