Adam Hard work drives me. I watched my father work his ass off for our family. Being the oldest, its my job to continue that. Take care of my parents, my brothers, my sister.
Idle time and idle hands make for poor decisions. Work now, work hard and the future will fall into place. Boy was I wrong. My future walked out on me when I couldn’t put her first.
When I couldn’t find balance. But now my future just gave me a second chance. Will I be able to hold onto it this time? Will I learn from my mistakes? Because it’s not just about me and her anymore.
Chelsea: I’ve seen what second choice looks like all of my life. My dad left my mom because his first choice was booze. My sister’s fiancé chose another woman over her.
Even my own boyfriend couldn’t choose me over his work. So I left. Was it the right thing to do? Probably not. But I wouldn’t know what a good decision is if it smacked me in the face.
Now it’s not just me I’m choosing for. I’m not alone anymore and need to think of how our future will play out. Can I go from being second choice to getting, and giving, a second chance?
