Once Upon A Time
At the tender age of 10, I started fraternising with dubious “friends” who plied my neighbourhood – one that was notorious for its disreputable activities and seedy characters. Before I knew it, I was drawn into the exciting world of illicit drugs. It did not help that I was young, impressionable and exposed. It did not strike my mind that what started off as a curious experiment would mark the beginning of my loathsome life, marked by periods of drug abuse and wasteful indulgences.
I was 14 when I found out that I was adopted. I felt hurt and betrayed. Like a recalcitrant child, I rebelled by leaving home. I felt the need to isolate and detach from the family that raised me as their biological child. For reasons I could not comprehend, I wanted them to hurt like how I was hurting.
Like any other teenage runaway, I learned to survive on the streets. I was quickly inducted into a gang and, in no time, adapted to its wretched habits and lifestyle. I realised that I needed an income and I needed it fast. I learnt the tricks of the trade that took me from drug trafficking to a myriad of other illegal dealings. Consumed by the financial power I thought I had, I lived frivolously and dangerously. I squandered my ill-gotten gains on illicit drugs, and it was a matter of time before I became severely addicted.
Life became lonely and I craved for the warmth of my family. I swallowed my pride and went home for a visit. I was heartened by their unconditional acceptance, but my guilt towards them was so overpowering that I chose to leave again.

The group structure was initially uncomfortable for me. I was inwardly resistant and outwardly reticent. I felt that it was out of my character to share secrets that have plagued me for my entire life, and I was sceptical to do so in the presence of fellow inmates. I had, after all, a reputation to upkeep.
