Touched by the Music

Four years of wasted time in a gang was nothing compared to what laid ahead for me—the rest of my life and what I chose to make of it. It would have been easier for me to head toward failure than to work my way out. But everything worthwhile comes at a cost. Growing up a step above poverty was an excuse I used for circumstances I hadn’t wanted to claim as my own. At least until I was smacked in the face with them. Decisions and my actions would both play roles in my success and failure. I believe life is defined by different events that lead us to our destiny. But what happens when events occur to two different people and cross at some point? I’m Lucio Moretti and the answer — My life. Her life. Our life.
