Post.Traumatic.Streets.Disorder
When one experiences pain over an extended period of time, it becomes normalized. Soon enough, no longer will that individual accept receipt of pain and soon become the one who delivers pain to others. The cycle continues ever forward. Born to an addicted mother and placed in foster care at the youngest possible age, Justin was birthed into the life of being another statistic. He spent his youth surviving in the streets any way he could, which landed him in and out of jail for over 9 years of his 30-year life.
Stepping from the sidewalk, with one foot cemented in the streets, Justin desired what this life would not give. Now, a single father of three boys and a man changed, he navigates away from street-life. How does one abandon the only world they know with only a hope for greener pastures and bluer skies? After countless battles both mental and physical, Justin works towards the greatest triumph of all, a better life. He will become a successful Author and motivational speaker, and break the cycle for his children to remain firmly on life's sidewalk, out of the streets, and without the P.T.S.D Justin will carry the remainder of his days, a soldier to his own trauma
