Cultural Artifact: The Fiancé
My lack of direction and responsibility
manifested into my negative baggage.
Years later, I met my girlfriend who has taught me about
responsibility. She was raised by
parents who taught her how to save, pay her bills on time and always take care
of her obligations. It’s because of her
I have structure, love and a sense of belonging. Although I have changed for the better, there
are a few moments where I do go back to my old ways. This can be disastrous to our relationship. Today, she is my fiancé. She knew that I have my baggage, yet she
still gave me a shot. I have changed my
life. No more DUI, I have improved my
credit, my identity changed. I often reflect
on how far I’ve come, but there is still room for further improvement. I can
sit here and write a complete novel to tell my audience where I’ve been, but I
would much rather tell you where I want to be.
It’s with her.
