Where I'm From

I am from plane rides at a week old, from always knowing there was something special about my family. I am from always knowing I was adopted. I am from not knowing who I looked like, and who I acted like, pictures never game me justice. I am from a time when pictured took weeks to sen and there was never a guarantee of it ever getting to it’s final destination. Hopefulness. I am from a time when computers overruled a handwritten letter, emails are more efficient and quicker. From a time when the internet was new. From a loving family with support to allow me to meet who is unknown to us, from always wondering if I would still be loved. I am from a time when your dreams can come true, from confusion, hatred and disrespect towards those who brought me here Why? from a time when family means most even if family is your adoptive parents. I am from being myself evolving from my mistakes and experiences from becoming who I am today because of my family.
