What we are destined to live: Based on a true story

By: Kion Valverde Castillo

This book is based on my brother's memoirs:

My name is Renzo, an Indigenous survivor who, in my long struggle for life, overcame the most overwhelming moments in a time of great hardship within a country that offered little hope during those very difficult years. A country subjected to a terrorist war, poverty, and corruption, where hope dwindled as terrorist groups gained ground.

I was born into a very humble family and from a young age was forced to live with scarcity, injustices in schools, workplaces, and government policies. The government often turns a blind eye to problems that have solutions, such as changing government laws so that those who commit fraud can no longer benefit from flawed legislation.

These injustices led me to a deep depression, which I was also able to overcome repeatedly thanks to my unparalleled mental strength. I spent my childhood in an orphanage that received humanitarian aid from the generosity of foreigners, and thanks to them, we children had food on the table.
I was deeply betrayed after being adopted by my gay father and his family, as they couldn't bear to see me become the woman I so desperately wanted to be. But fortunately, thanks to the love I received from my spiritual mother, Clara, whom I met during my transition journey, I was able to rediscover the love I longed for from a mother in a family setting, a love I thought I had lost at some point in my life. As an immigrant in Sweden, I managed to overcome the discrimination and racial abuse that still persists today in a country that should be a model of life for the world.

At the end of my journey I was able to find peace and tranquility after fleeing the LGBT world, an environment in which, after many years of constant struggle, I saw that I should never have become a part of it because I realised that after many years of constant struggle, it was not the right path to follow.
