Have only just read this one. Brutal and jarring. A summary I guess of what helped create the present HVR and the darkness that was almost always present.

This is raw af. I love it. Thank you for sharing. It reminds me of old school rap where stories were told and struggles were explained which gave background on systemic issues affecting kids and how they grow up. Well done.

I read it whole and yeah, I know there are not many who can understand and support your work, but I felt it. Even though I'm not into hip-hop or rap, I can feel the emotions in your writing. Keep it up my friend, hope you heal and grow from all that pain you had to go through.

And yeah, I dared to like, comment and also subscribe you.

I appreciate it. I used to not be into hip hop or rap either. Then I became a third culture kid, adopted by Black and Latin cultures and friends more so than my own. And the music hit.

Thanks for daring. It means the world.
