A revelation to a secret hidden for the past seventeen years marked the beginning of a bigger predicament in my life. The beginning of knowing what it was like when life was dealing with me that I felt only I could understand better. Not to combine the financial instability in the house. My life varied depending on what the day threw in my face. Physically, mentally and emotionally. It wasn't funny at all. Then on a good bubbling night, the worst scenario of my life made me do the unthinkable. On the night of the thirty-first of December, during the crossover celebration, I experienced something that made me think enough was enough. I couldn't take this pain any longer than I had, so I made a terrifying decision that could either kill me, take a piece of me or make me whole. The scorpion group that I had an aversion to when I was invited was the same group that did some things in my life but one of which was the greatest. My name is Tosin Johnson and this was how it started. How I started feeling the weight of the burden.
