How was your childhood?
Did you grow up poor?
Were you picked on?
Were you bullied?
Did inconceivable events transpire?
Were unspeakable words spoken?
Whatever happened back then, it was not your fault. Those people that hurt you, they didn’t know any better. Those abhorrent events, they were outside of your control. The past has passed. But the future can still be saved. Don’t wait for destiny to find you; she is an elusive one. Grab life by its mane and go find her instead.
If your hands are bound, then bide your time until you can free yourself. If you are already free, then you must act. Tomorrow is never a good time and the day after is even worse. The time is now. Today.
Don’t blame them. No one owes you anything. Don’t try to please them. You don’t owe anyone, anything. But you do owe it to yourself.
Quite suddenly, you exploded into existence and in an instant, like the dying pulse of a single star in a bed of galaxies, you will be gone again. Be grateful for your life and do honor to it by burning as bright as you can until your last and final flicker.
Choose to Take the Journey 
Not much a person can do about their childhood, like being dealt a bad hand of cards. In adulthood those cards can be swamped for better cards. The choice is always with self to improve and evolve.
