As difficult as things have been in my life I wouldn’t change anything because those difficulties have led me to where I am now. They’ve led me to who I am now. The path was not easy; it was a lot of pain and a lot of hurt.

I was a sweet, sensitive, shy child, and I was tortured by kids. It was awful. The loss of my friends to AIDS: incredibly painful!

But all of these things have led me to who I am now. I’m a happy person. I’m a successful person. And I have relationships in my life.
