When I was 23 and had a baby and realized that it isn't about me anymore but about doing whatever I can to give my son everything I can.

When I was 18. Finished HS, started college, had my son, caught a case and my cousin (more like a brother) was murder all within 3 months. That's when I realized I had to cut what I was doing and get on track

when i was 20. Fully independent with my girl staying with me. TImes were hard. Eating off the dollar menu most the week, going to the COIN STAR just for gas. Got robbed that year too, got me for both my tvs smh and my ps3.

So glad im over those times tho, but i'll never forget it. Makes the high times of right now seem so much more worth it

i'll be 23 in 2 weeks and it hasn't gotten real yet. probably why i hate this @+*$.

Around 18 (im 20 now), this is around the time i realized my parents had been together for almost 30 years and neither of them was happy, also around the time it was Sr. year of hs and i was on track to get either a low d1 or high d2 basketball scholarship and nearly tore my MCL midway through the season, causing me to lose all of my better offers from schools so from there i still had to find a way to school knowing my fam couldnt pay for it
