bunie Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 (edited) Following the life of: Essynce Aaliyah Glenwood is an Afro-Belizean female who was born on June 14th at St. Fiacre Hospital in South Central Los Santos, under circumstances as complicated as the life that would follow. Raised in the dense, violent corridors of Chamberlain Hills until age ten, Essynce was the result of a one-night stand and a failed abortion—details her mother never hid, and ones that colored every moment of their strained relationship. Her father was never known, and her mother, riddled with resentment, treated her with more coldness than care. The two moved into a modest, low-income apartment in Morningwood with Essynce’s grandmother, settling at 209 Cougar Avenue. Though the location changed, the emotional climate did not. Their apartment was cramped, their conversations short, and the atmosphere thick with bitterness and tension. From an early age, Essynce understood that survival wouldn’t come easy. At thirteen, she started working off the books at Chido Taqueria to help cover bills. By fifteen, she had a legal job at the Xero gas station in Pacific Bluffs, where she remained until she was fired at seventeen. The dismissal stemmed from an incident in which a customer called her a racial slur; when she stood up for herself, management labeled her “a disturbance” and let her go. That experience solidified what the world often told her quietly—people like her weren’t meant to speak up. Essynce is outspoken and headstrong. Her confidence, though sometimes mistaken for arrogance, has become armor—a self-built shield against a world that often made her feel unwanted. Materialistic and image-conscious, she proudly wears counterfeit designer pieces sourced from DHGate, pairing her aesthetic with an undeniable street smarts. She's been stealing since she was young—not out of thrill, but out of need. From boosting skincare to cutting tags off clothes, she’s become a quiet expert in doing what it takes to make it through the day. Her body, chubby and soft from years of poor nutrition, stress eating, and a lack of routine, is just another thing she carries without apology. With no formal guidance or care, she’s simply tried to cope with what little she’s had. At fifteen, a drunken outburst led to her mother kicking her out. Essynce found herself alone, eventually renting a room at the Perrera Beach Motel—where no one questioned her age so long as she could pay. The motel sits on the edge of chaos: streetwalkers pacing the sidewalk, drug deals unfolding just outside her window, and the occasional scream breaking the silence of night. It’s far from safe, but it’s the only consistent thing she’s had in years. She's currently looking for a new place in Morningwood—nothing fancy, just enough to exist. Life taught Essynce to be her own parent. When she got her first period, she didn’t have anyone to turn to. She opened her old burner phone, typed “why am I bleeding” into WhoTube, and pieced together what she needed to survive the moment. That was how she learned everything—how to shave, how to cook, how to deal with depression, how to ask for things without sounding desperate. She grew up alone in a house full of people, and the internet became her lifeline. She has always been her own big sister, her own guide. She currently attends Los Santos High School and for much of her school life prior, her grades were poor. She never had the support or energy to care. But once high school hit, she started to understand that a diploma might be her only ticket out. She still struggles, especially in English, but she’s improving. Spanish, her first language, is what she’s most comfortable with, having grown up in a household where it was used frequently, especially during arguments. Her mother of Mestizo descent and her father African American, her cultural identity sits at the intersection of two marginalized worlds. Outside of academics, she found peace in cooking—something she turned to out of necessity at first, but later learned to love. Trying new recipes helped her cope with hunger and loneliness. Hair was another escape. When she couldn’t afford to get hers done, she taught herself. Over time, this turned into a side hustle. While she dreams of owning a shop one day, she knows dreams cost money, and money is something she still doesn’t have. Essynce has witnessed the full spectrum of gang life across both South Central and Morningwood, never as a participant, but always within arm’s reach of danger. Growing up, she saw the territorial disputes between the Rollin’ Crip sets (60s, 40s, 90s, and 108 Block Crips) and Blood factions like the Madd Swan Bloods, Black P Stones, and Inglewood Family. Tagging crews morphed into hardened Sureno cliques—Traviesos Gangster 13, South Los 13, and Varrio Hoover 13—many of which constantly clashed over turf, drugs, and legacy. In Morningwood, her daily reality was shaped by the silent war between Del Perro 13 and the white supremacist Del Perro Skinheads, alongside tension from the Blasting Fools Gangster Crips and Playboy Gangster Crips. She witnessed neighborhood divides deepen with the presence of Northside Longos, Tiny Oriental Posse, Morningwood Russians, Hye Mafiya, and outfits like Beyond Control and Aktivität. Still, she never affiliated with any of them. The bodies, sirens, and bloodstains on the pavement were enough of a warning. Being online shaped a different, subtler threat to her self-worth. On Bleeter, she scrolls through endless threads about “alpha males” and “high-value women,” watching grown men go viral for calling girls like her too loud, too fat, too dark, too poor. She sees the microaggressions turn into macro-abuse, sees herself in the girls who are constantly picked apart for simply existing. The hostility toward Black women—especially those who speak their minds—has become a normalized punchline. As a young girl still trying to figure herself out, these posts don’t just sting—they shape her thinking. She doesn’t trust men. She doesn’t romanticize relationships. She has seen too many examples of love as manipulation and control. The misogyny, the ridicule, the casual violence—she takes mental notes, guards herself accordingly, and keeps her vulnerability buried deep. She doesn’t dream about romance; she dreams about safety. Essynce Aaliyah Glenwood, now eighteen, is a girl hardened by survival. Her story is not one of rescue or transformation—yet. It’s one of endurance. She knows how to make her way through shadows, how to build a life out of scraps, and how to speak even when nobody’s listening. She hasn’t figured everything out, but what she does know is this: in a city that never gave her anything, she’s carved out her own space, and she intends to keep it.

Born and raised in the overlooked corners of Los Santos, Essynce is no stranger to survival. With no real support system, she’s relied on hustling, cutting tags, and getting it how she lives—doing hair out of her motel room, boosting when necessary, and always chasing the next dollar. This thread will document her day-to-day as she tries to carve out stability in a city that’s never handed her anything. Each segment will be separated by music that reflects her mood, her mindset, or the chapter she’s in. Edited Saturday at 02:37 AM by bunie 12 1 3 1 Link to comment
