This is an attempt to get a true life story out. Lessons learned, mistakes made. It wont always be pretty, and I certainly don’t guarantee that my writing will be decent. Here it is however, truthful as possible. Names will be changed to protect identities, and situations. I appreciate all of your thoughts, kind words, and stories shared. Thank you to everyone who takes the time to read what I have to say, I hope something positive will come from this.

I hope by sharing my story and the negative things that brought me to a better place, maybe someone will be inspired, or helped. No matter what life throws at you, it is possible to get through, even when there is more crap ahead of you.

I am not defined by the person people see when they look at me. I am defined by the way I have lived my life, the decisions and mistakes I’ve made, the consequences I have lived through and the way I have handled the hurdles life has thrown my way.
