Bound To My Mates By Fate

“Don't lament on past sorrows, but instead move forward, even in the darkest of times. Sometimes we must be bathed in darkness so our light can shine brighter, lighting the way to an unimaginable future.”

Who am I? Why am I here? These age-old questions haunted me repeatedly until I learned what being Bound meant. Especially since being Bound and having tons of questions seems to be a recurring theme in my life.

Do you ever feel like you can never catch a break? Perhaps Karma has it out for you, or you're meant for something greater? I'm seriously hoping it's the latter. My life started simply enough… I was a toddler being pushed in a stroller by the woman I knew as my mother. Until I felt so very cold. I remember seeing my mother looking like a wet sleeping angel, lying down on the bank of a river. In my mind, I heard her tell me to sleep, and it sounded so good to me that I curled up beside her and drifted off to sleep. Not knowing how we got there or how many hours had passed, I was jerked away from her and told that she was dead. I didn't know what death was then, but I do now.
