The Human Aspect of Amdjed

I grew up in a turbulent home and experienced violence both at school and at home. I ended up suppressing my emotions and became a quiet child living mainly in my own thoughts as hope for a better life was slowly disappearing. In my teens I used drugs to escape my reality. I'd often find myself feeling angry and this only increased my desire to find my next hit of drugs. I felt an overwhelming sense of shame and spent my life on the outskirts of society. Eventually, I lost all sense of self worth.
