Well I was born in the late 80s, and once I was pushed out and cleaned up. My mother name me Rashad. I was born blind in my right eye. I never really got a full explanation of the reason why I was born blind. I know I was supposed to be a twin but my other twin died while we were inside my mother’s belly. I always wondered if I was responsible for the death of my twin but I guess we will never know.
Being born blind meant, my right eye never developed into a normal looking eye. So every time I came in contact with a new person, the first thing they would notice is my birth affect. People can be really cruel to people who are different than them. I was called a beast, monster, a weirdo, and different ever since I was a baby. When you call a child something over and over again, that child will grow up to become what you call it because a child’s brain is still developing. I was an emotionally weak child, I didn’t become stronger until the summer after 8th grade year because my dad taught me that confidence is everything and I shouldn’t care what other people thought of me. So I took that as go out and get what I want and don’t care about anyone else in the process.
I lived the next 20 years by that model, I did learn to grow a little and love a few people along the way. But, you needed to show me you were loyal to me before I showed any type of love towards you.
Everything changed once I had my first kid, I knew the way I was living wasn’t the best version of myself. I knew this wasn’t the reason GOD gave me life. I started a new beginning in my life and that’s when I started going by RJ. This is where I started my JOURNEY back to the promise land! What I learned along the way is that I am one of GOD’s favorite sons. I am one of the many CHOOSEN ONES that live on this planet! WE ARE RISING UP AND WE ARE READY TO MAKE THIS PLANET GODLY AGAIN!
