JOURNEY FROM MIDNIGHT

Growing up as a homeless child, Selira V. Samanne was one of thousands of homeless teens on a road to nowhere, while trying to find her way to a better place and to herself as well. To many, her life has consisted of hardships that would have broken the spirit of the average person long ago. 

Her spirit is Indomitable and she survived in order to be able to share her story with the world. Along with her vast array of exceptional and devastating experiences, she speaks openly about what she went through to reach those who may need to hear the message and most importantly, to possibly help save lives.

By sharing this riveting and heartbreaking story, her ultimate goal is to raise awareness of Homeless Youth in America and around the world, and to inspire readers to view homelessness through a different lens

It is with the absolute greatest hope to inspire those readers who still find themselves on the streets or lost to always believe in the good that lies within yourself and know your inner moral compass will never steer you wrong if you remain true to yourself.

 To Thine Own Self Be True.

Please Do Not Be Afraid to reach out for the help you are in need of. If you can't find it, be willing to do whatever it takes; most importantly, you must seek knowledge and be willing to learn. If you have an obstacle, challenge or problem, figure out a way to get over it, under it or around it. 

It really is survival of the fittest: Mentally, Physically and Spiritually. 

No matter if you try and fail you have to believe in yourself enough to know if you keep trying and keep seeking, you will find answers and solutions. 

Trust Your Instincts. If something feels wrong-

It probably is...

• HIERARCHY OF NEEDS
• Everything we do is motivated by certain physiological and psychological needs. Before moving towards other complex needs, our basic survival needs must be fulfilled.
• SAFETY   Money, Resources, Shelter   
• SOCIAL  Family, Friends, Community
• ESTEEM   Self-confidence, Respect
• SELF-ACTUALIZATION  The realization of one's talents and potentialities, especially considered a drive or need in everyone.
• FULFILLMENT   Living to one's full potential. 
• Humans naturally desire more and more with each passing day and every success.

"A person who is lacking food, safety, love and esteem would most probably hunger for food more strongly than for anything else."
