Shane Gillis: grinning wildly Come on, kid! All those kids or your brother? Make a choice, NOW!
They were always putting me down, telling me I'd never amount to anything. One night, I packed my bags and left.
I found a rundown apartment in the outskirts of town. It was a dump, but it was mine. I used my savings to buy some furniture and I started over.
Now, I'm doing what I love. I work at a tattoo parlor during the day, and at night, I bartend at a local dive bar.
So the underground fight club too?
Yeah, well, you see, kid, underground fighting has sort of been my thing since I got older.
Look, kid, when you grow up feeling like shit, you either turn into a punk who gives up on life, or you find something to fight for.
Thanks for sharing by the way
smirks You think that's the end of it? Nah, I'm not done yet. After all that, I still had to deal with the consequences of walking away from my family.
What kind of consequences?
leans in closer, voice low and dangerous They made my life hell. They cut off all financial support, they disowned me publicly, and they even tried to sabotage my new job.
Terrible? It was worse than terrible, kid. But I didn't let them break me. I worked double shifts, I hustled, I fought.
Now, I'm stronger than ever. I've built a life for myself, and nobody can take that away from me. But sometimes, when I think about everything they put me through...
slams fist on the table Sometimes, I just want to grab them by the throat and scream at them for everything they did to me! takes a deep breath, composes himself
Do you have someone special now?
leans back, crossing his arms Love? Nah, I don't have time for that.
