“Me and my brother were both abused by the same person.  I was only five years old at the time.  It’s not something I can really tell people about.  I don’t want anyone looking down on me.  Or treating me differently.  I’m trying to be a professional boxer, it’s just not something I can tell people. But it weighs on me.  I want to bring it up and get it off my chest.  That way people might understand why I’m in a bad moment right now.  Or why I need to take some time off from school.  Or why some days I just feel like lying down and smoking weed.  But it’s just not something I can share.  I’m proud of myself for not giving up.  My brother became an agoraphobe.  He doesn’t like to leave the house.  He doesn’t have a job.  But that’s not going to happen to me.  I’m exercising every day.  I’m setting goals.  I’m going to get past this.”
