29 years old i was diagnosed with stage iv breast cancer terminal which had already spread to my lungs and some ribs certainly changed the course of my life funny thing is i went to the doctor to have my lungs checked bc i was having trouble breathing on my long runs for six years prior to that the lumps in my breast had been passed off as cysts and dense breast tissue nothing to worry about you're so young husband and i were on and off in the early years of our relationship we were in one of those off periods in my mind the final one went to lines appear after ip dollar stick he did not biological children and i did not want another child yet here we are eight years later house in the burbs two children a dog a dog that crossed the rainbow bridge just living the american dream note we didn't get itched until our youngest was almost four thirteen years ago i was a global manager for a major tech company when my wife suddenly passed away leaving me alone with three young children

spend hours of your time making sure he doesn't get things he wants yeah you're gonna marry him and be super happy my parents were brutally murdered when i was a baby and i was sent to live with my abusive aunt and uncle and their spoiled brat son then on my 11th birthday a giant tour down our front door gave my cousin a pig's tail and told me i was a wizard i used to be pretty overweight around 50 pounds i'd pretty much eat at a buffet once every week and had absolutely no intentions of stopping or losing weight plot twist one fateful lunch i went to red robin and ate a ton i probably shouldn't have had that refill of fries but i said let's do this i shouldn't have eaten dinner that night but i thought it's just a little bit of curry big mistake or divine intervention that night i had the worst heartburn in my life i seriously thought i was having a heart attack and went to the hospital and all that all i could pretty much eat was fruits veggies and oatmeal so this is pretty much all i ate three meals a day for the next several weeks sometimes i would eat some porridge with chicken but that was kind of the limit anytime i ate anything slightly greasy instant heartburn it was thanksgiving weekend and all i did was try a little bit of stuffing and bam heartburn so i was pretty much on chicken or fish fruits veggies and my savior oatmeal i now eat oatmeal every morning with some apples and bananas and i'm still 50 pounds lighter i was born in mexico and came to the us when i was three i never knew the actual reason why until i was much older not only was it a plot twist when i found out but it's a pretty big plot twist considering how my life could have been if it had not happened my parents got involved in a pyramid scheme which ruined them and many others financially there was this one woman who got involved because of my mom and she blamed my mom for everything she became obsessed to the point where she was stalking my parents and leaving very threatening notes to them the police didn't do anything about it and it got to the point where my parents were so scared for my safety that they decided to move to a different country they figured that they could not only start over since they sort of had to end away because they lost all their money but could also provide a better life for me or at least a safe one away from that lady i often wonder how my life would have turned out if we never left but i find it hard to imagine so much of my life here the experiences i've had have helped shape me so much that i really cannot picture the type of person i would be if things were different [Music] grew up a complete nerd captain of the debate team vice president of the spanish club doing well in all my classes etc had a pretty bad home

or when later back at yale i had a friend commit suicide and i broke down again my dean gave me poor advice in the wake of her death and i'm now on academic probation and not allowed back to yale ended up spending some time now as a bartender waiter etc was sort of expected to go to college get my degree get a good job start a family etc but instead i'm far behind everyone else doing jobs my family think of as embarrassing but enjoying life a bit more though bitter at the institution and wanting to finish up my college degree damn it i am a male and i grew up being interested in doing
