Our past should never define us. At least, that‘s what I’ve heard many people say, the self-help gurus and life coaches, the people teaching us to move on from past mistakes to find a better future. But what if it’s your future that defines you? What if the fate you’re moving towards is the problem that will defeat you? And what if there’s not a damn thing you can do to stop it? That’s my life. My fate. My burden to carry since before I was born. I was bred for it, raised for it, reminded of it every day of my life.
