Even as a child, I found a way to survive.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When I look back on my childhood, I wonder how I survived at all.
As a child, I was able to know that I wanted a better life.
Since being quite young, I've had a very strong sense of independence and survival. As a child, I was on my own two feet emotionally.
I always felt I needed to teach to survive.
I think I survived by running away some. Running away to work.
I feel like I died as a child.
I had to force myself not to be overly protective because I had lost one child.
The environment I was raised in, you had to, to survive.
My mother had lots and lots of children who didn't survive.
I've never had to fend for a child's life, which sounds very terrifying.
