This is a story I've never told and never thought I will but here it is. I'm a half french girl from FINLAND. I was born in France but I've lived in Finland almost my whole life. When I was just a little girl my dad abused me for years. I was too scared to tell my mom. Luckily (I guess) he left when I was 6yo. Without warning, without good bye. It felt terrible. After all he was my dad, and my own dad didn't love me. He also took all of our family money and left huge debt to my mom. We lived years with a very little money, but I was happy. Few years later my mom got another man. I didn't want to move to another city 'cause I had to leave my friends and my grandmom. Mom promised me a puppy. So we moved. I never got the puppy. He was even worse than my dad. He threatened to kill me. Tried to. And printed pictures of me with awful text and put them all over our house. I wasn't allowed to take them down. I felt like crap. Worthless. After years of being scared I MADE A DECISION. Just a decision. TO BE BRAVE. I went to the school nurse. Found the brevity from myself to tell her everything even tho I knew I would be seperated from my mom. The same day I was taken away from home. They took me to my uncle's. I was there for 2 months. They didn't want to keep me. I felt bad, but kept on smiling. Then I was placed in an another family. I hated it. I spent there almost 5 years. When I was 15yo I moved alone to the capital. Started studying. Got some new friends.. I felt so proud of myself. Last year I took a year off. I moved to spain, traveled Europe, spent the time of my life. Now I'm in Finland, the only sad thing is that my grandmom, the only person who believed in me all this time passed away last week. But I'm ok. She'll still live in my heart and guide me. Now I'm 18yo. I've found myself. NOW NOTHING NEVER EVER CAN BRING ME DOWN AGAIN. #ladygaga #BoldBravery # #BoldStage #bornbrave #bornthisway #BTWF #mystory
