It's kind of funny how life turns out for some people.

Other's live free- Some live miserable and some just don't care anymore!

I've always wondered and asked myself " Who am I? Why can't people see that I'm not as different as them? Is it really that hard to be able to express yourself without any judgement?! "

I never considered the possibility that I'm gifted and special. I'm stuck between what's right and what's wrong-Happiness or Sadness!

Growing up was really hard for me!

Having gone through so much pain, sorrow and horrific tortures of endless emotional rollercoasters.
I grew up in a house where violence was one of the topped-ranked form of living.
Non-stop physical and verbal violence.
Being a witness of all these things, made me question myself a lot.
Like " Why always me? Do I deserve this? Can't I just live a normal life like all the others' out there!? ".

But yet again, Life ain't always fair!

I've come to accept all that has happend so far.
My past: All the judgements, The Violence (in all kinds of forms), the horror, the sadness and pain.

It's time that I live once more.
There is no limit to happiness. Either you choose to stand up and be who you are. Or you give up, and see that life ain't for you.

I chose to stand up. To be BOLD and FREE

Yes. I am, and will always be EXCEPTIONAL!

I am Renier Van Rooi. And that is my story!
