Life as Ben
It's crazy really things have turned out. Never did that things would turn out like this would take me to where I am now. Each day brings surprises around the corner, and It's always a mystery what's going to happen next. Sometimes it feels like I'm living in a fantasy. At the same time, I know this is my truth.
It's not always easy, of course. There are challenges, but overall it's amazing. I wouldn't trade it for anything. Maybe someday I'll be able to tell my story and see how far I've come.
For now, I'm just going to take it one day at a time.
