This is my no-holds-barred story, the truth in all its gory details. It's certainly not a romance, although it had its moments.My life didn't turn out how I envisioned it, but looking back, I can't say I regret it either, and I'll explain the reason or reasons for that in my story.
>I was pulled through the wringer and left feeling lost, alone and confused. So much so that I'm sucked deep into my own mind. Lost inside my own mind, I became comfortable; it was a place where I could hide. The darkness inside my own mind became my respite, my shelter, and a buffer from the devastation of my own broken dreams. I became trapped there as I searched in circles for answers, surviving but not living. I was torn up by guilt and felt as though I was being punished for perceived faults. Confusion and turmoil became my only companions.

I needed to escape, to start living again, but did I have the strength to crawl out and escape the void? Better yet, did I want to, because if I did, would I still recognise myself?

Travel with me through my earlier life. It may make you uncomfortable as I bluntly describe that time for you, but it's a form of therapy for me.
