Hello.

Are the following sentences grammatically correct?

"In all my years living in the streets, I could say yes. Although they are not things that I am proud to have seen or remember. But hey, at least try to tell me in more detail what the was supposed to happen to you, I'm not a psychic to know what happened to you reading your mind. Although if I could do it, I know that I would regret it immediately, I know you and I imagine what kind of things you should have stored there."

Thanks.

What is the speaker saying "yes" to in the opening sentence?

Hello emsr2d2: Once again, thanks for your help.

-Has anything ever happened to you that you do not understand and you cannot even try to explain?

-In all my years living in the streets, I could say yes. Although they are not things that I am proud to have seen or remember. But hey, at least try to tell me in more detail what the was supposed to happen to you, I'm not a psychic to know what happened to you reading your mind.

Thanks.

I suggest that you simplify both the question and the answer. Perhaps:

Has anything ever happened to you that you didn't understand and couldn't explain?
