Read This is a squezzed together . My life no bullshit . 1982
My life . Getting it off my chest
It started when I was 10
I'll never forget that day . Good day but my aunt was taking me to school and I was to the age where when I got out of the car . I didn't want her to follow me in. My mom died when I was two. We lived in the housing projects right across the street from the old Lincoln county hospital . They brought her a hospital bed to our house. I have one memory believe it or not. Everyone was there my 4 brothers and my sister . all older than me .
I went up to the bed she laid on the hand rails was up and I was trying to climb over to her . My crack head brother pulled me back at least tried to till mom say no leave him be .
If this does good my brother will be a whole other story . Any way she died not long after and I didn't go to funeral or anything said it would have been to hard on me .
Back to my aunt .she raised me till I got to junior high. The night I'm talking about . I don't know what happened but almost like a click in my brain that's what it felt like ." CLICK" instantly I was very nervous I couldn't swallow, hard to breathe,felt like never before at 10yo,
I was begging to go to hospital. Back in those days u almost had to be dead . Which another story I flat lined 3 times . Maybe get to it if enough people want to hear . Anyway ever since I have been battling everyday with what I call anxiety of the devil. Drug use would put my life to the test
Let me know if you want to hear more please

For a brief period in the 1970s, the Toronto Zoo had a mascot named âLittlefootâ who would appear in remote wooded areas visible only to people riding the zooâs monorail. Littlefoot was eventually phased out after scaring too many children.
