(I Know)-Jay-W

If you are having difficulty interpreting my title, I Know is originally a song by Jay-Z, one of my favorites to say the least. The Jay-W is merely a play-on words of his name with mine. But I digress. The song has absolutely nothing to do with what I believe has a meaning.
During my informal presentation, I shared that I was once robbed at gunpoint, jumped by 8 people, and had my home broken into while I was in the bathroom. However, I held something back. I was too afraid of judgment and pity to say it but nobody but Mr. McCarthy and a random Hawaiian reads my blogs so I'll spill it. My mom and I were once homeless. For about 5 months we bounced around relative's homes, a boarding house, my mother made a stay at a women's shelter before we eventually came to stay at an abandoned home until we eventually made that our true home after LOTS of work.
Now tell me after going through all of that turmoil that I should have reason to not believe I was meant to do something great. I believe whatever higher power that is out there and the Lucky Charms leprechaun thought that maybe death wasn't meant to meet me that early and that I still have a purpose to fulfill on this Earth. I believe my life definitely has meaning and I can't be convinced otherwise. I'll never forget that time in my life because it will be a constant reminder of what could have been and why anything less than being the almighty ruler of this planet is unacceptable. Well, I'm just kidding about the ruler part, but I will make sure my name is remembered.
