Things have always been difficult. When I was growing up not getting beat up, stabbed or sent to the hospital from things that happened in public school was always a challenge. However, I had good parents who took care of me and didn't torture me by burning me with lighted cigarettes in my arm as a child too.
Today, it isn't as much like that anymore. Instead it is people trying to pretend that they aren't racist which is sort of a joke because everyone has their things they don't like still, they just don't talk about it. Often people tell me about the 1950s and 1960s but they were much different in reality than most people understand who didn't live through all that. There were problems between whites and blacks but there were also problems between every ethnicity and every other ethnicity so it wasn't just a white and black thing it was anyone different than your people, your friends, your family.
So, how do you survive now? I would say anyway you can. How did you survive then? Anyway you could.
The world wasn't perfect then and it still isn't perfect now either.
Where there's a will there's a way to survive all this.
That is what is really important regarding all this.
If you don't survive the people who you love and who love you might not survive either.
So, your survival isn't just about you, it's about everyone you know and love and trust too.
No man is an island. If you are alive it is because someone sacrificed enough so you could be here.
It wasn't by magic. It was by hard work.
So, stay alive for others if you can't stay alive for yourself.
This is what I did too from age 21 to 25.
By God's Grace
