My uncle

raped me.

I

was 10 years old when it started.

At

13 he told me I was no longer wanted because I had started to develop.

At

16 I was ready to kill him.

Today, I’m broken.

Today, I only breathe to survive.

My

name’s Sergeant Major Ryan Jenkins and today, I’m ready to tell you my story.

**Bound by custom

or unique by choice.**

There’s something about the written word that’s pure magic.

Possibly it’s the fact that there are 26 letters in the English alphabet, and they

can create something so beautiful or so empowering that they’re able to change

our lives.

How important is it that we break suit and stretch our minds?

I like to think of myself as ‘unique’. My stories aren’t for everyone, and

sometimes I may push what you believe to be ‘normal’.

Normal is subjective.

I prefer to be known as a person who’s never been ‘bound by custom’ but is

‘unique by choice’.

Until next time
