This story is about my life as I have lived it. I never talked about my past very much, I felt very embarrassed about where I came from. I did not want anyone to judge me from my past. I wanted you to watch me now. Look at me and my actions that I have shown you. If you liked what you have experienced with me so far, follow along and be a part of my journey. I am not for everybody.

This is not a novel of flowery descriptions and hard to spell adjectives. It is very much like me, concise and to the point. I make no excuses for my family or how they interacted with me. My life as a child made me who I am today. I am proud of myself.

Writing this book made it possible to really explore my deepest feelings, how they affected me, and how I have affected others. If you choose to read this book, we will both be affected. I hope that my story will help you define your story, see your value and make it worth living.
