“The thing that I’m most afraid of is losing someone that I love. As generic as that sounds, growing up adopted, I get really attached to the people that I love, and it is really scary when they end up leaving. My birth mother left me the day after I was born, and even though I don’t remember that, not being held can really affect your mind so I would consider that to be a big part of who I am today. Obviously, if she hadn’t left, my life would be so different. I probably wouldn’t be living in America, so some things do end up working out for the better, but I’ve learned that you have to go through a struggle to come out on the other side.”
