Thoughts of Gullah

I'm 23 years old...23. I once thought that i'd be dead before I even saw 21. I come from a family spread out across this nation that came up in the days of struggle. A heritage that is now nearly extinct in the eyes of history. I know a lot of people say that they've come from a struggle but only those that have been point blank in front of a gun or had to grind to see their mother eat a full meal can relate. No i'm not saying that I regret my past because I've learned a lot from being at the bottom. I dedicate the following postings to my life & my experiences. Each person has their own stories of triumph. This is my story...
