At 14yrs old my family disintegrated, my network of friends vanished and I ended up living rough. A couple of things kept me going. One was an absolute certainty that I was never alone. There was a definite presence watching over me, self preservation and freedom. Freedom is fundamental to life, even the ability to feel love, the ability to think, and the ability to create and procreate are all severely diminished without freedom. Freedom must be held onto at ALL costs.
