If you were to tell anyone a story that defines you in your life, what would it be?

[music]

Hi everyone, welcome back to Life in Between with David. Today I'm going to be

talking about something that is very close to the heart and a personal

experience that I have had since losing my hearing. When I was 14 or 15 years old

I was with a group of individuals, and I'd known these people for a little

bit of time and then there was a new individual that came into

our group. And I remember I wanted to contribute something to the conversation

and almost right after, this individual said, "You have speech problems."

At that moment my confidence went down, I felt a little bit frightened, nervous. I never

had a sense of, oh yeah, I do have a hard time getting things out, and also has a

lot to do with my hearing. And I remember going to home that day and I ran into my

closet and I just cried. I felt so lost and unsure and did not really know how

to pick up and move on. And I remember praying. And I began praying and I was just

asking God for help to know what to do, and how can I be the best that

I can be, how can I accomplish the things that I want to do? And as I was praying I

had this thought of this individual did not know my full story. This individual

did I know that I had lost my hearing at a young age. This individual did not

know that I had been going to speech therapy for years and working with my family

every day to improve and to get better and to learn and grow. It was

never an easy experience, and I realized that this individual did not know the

full story. And so, I had to forgive and move on. That doesn't mean that I

completely forgot about the words that were said. They to this day, when I

stumble upon something or I have a hard day, often those thoughts come to my head.

"You have speech problems."

and it it's just those simple words, and they don't mean anything to me now. But if I allow myself, it will

sometimes pull me back, and I can't do that. I have worked so hard to

get to this point, and I've been blessed by God to be able to do what I do and to

be able to express the way that I do. It is truly a miracle, to me it is.

And that's what I have to remember every day. This is a gift and that

everyone has a story, and that you cannot judge someone on one specific moment in

their life. Get to know them, get to understand where they have been and where

they're heading and what their dreams are.

As a young kid I always admired music, I loved music. In my head I wanted to

be this singer that had the most fabulous voice. Obviously I don't sing, but I always

liked to picture that I did. And those are dreams that I have had, and dreams to be

able to speak and to be able to express the things that are on my mind.

The challenges that I faced losing my hearing at age six, there are so many

moments in one's life that they build up to who they are at that moment. And it's

not fair to anyone to call them out on one moment and think that that is our whole

life, because I'm pretty sure it is not. I am pretty sure that everyone has their

own struggles and their own challenges and also their triumphs. And I am so grateful

that at a young age I was able to have this

experience, and be able to realize that we really do have a story, everyone does.

So, I hope that

through those all around you, that you will take time to get to know them and

not judge on one single moment in their life.

[CC] "This is Not a Love Letter" by Kim Purcell Review - Duration: 3:11.

Comes out on January the 30th. This is called "This is Not a Love Letter". It is a

YA book that is about an interracial romance, but the characters have just

taken a break, but now one of the characters has gone missing and the

girlfriend wants to know where he's at. She's still madly in love with him.

The reason why they're separated is because they loved each other

too much and he wanted to get married even though they're still in high school

and she's like we need to just make decisions ourselves on where we want to

go to school and if we last through going to college then maybe we can talk

about getting married but it's too soon right now. People are kind of

wondering if she had something to do with his disappearance but she's also

the one who is wanting the most to figure out what has happened. They're

such a lovable couple. Their story is very gut wrenching. Her mother is also a

hoarder, so you get to see some insight on that. I personally felt like it

was very realistic as someone who has had a little bit of hoarder tendencies.

I might discuss that more on my channel later and open up about that but

as far as someone living with a hoarder I felt like it was real because a lot of

her anxieties that she expressed were the same ones that I had as someone that

was a hoarder. There is an ending that definitely had a message. At first

you feel like you're just listening to this annoying girl who feels

like she's very "woke" on all of the issues that face people of color and she

wants to be this social justice warrior and believes he's gone

missing because these guys attacked him for racial purposes because they'd beat him up before,

so obviously that was influenced by the

fact that he was black and that's why they wanted to attack him. She

doesn't really take anything else under consideration. She just thinks that it's

a hate crime and that's kind of where she falls short. In the end you kind

of get the overall message that you can't just jump to conclusions every

single time and assume that that's what it is and ignore all these

other signs of things that are going on. Your perspective is too

limited. You're too close. And yeah, she just blamed everything on race. One of

the most empowering messages that was in this story was from the mother of the

guy who has been missing. Whenever they do find out exactly what has

happened, she basically looks at her and is like don't put that on yourself. This

had nothing to do with you, like you're not that important. I loved it because

not only is it true but it's also such a relief to hear that. I felt like it

was just the perfect thing to say to her in that moment. As annoying as I

found that character, I did still like this story, and I do think that it would

be a fun one to read. It's a YA book, but it's kind of like on the verge of

new adult. If you want to crossover book, this might be a good one.
