You can, by all means, skip this part, it is not as important as the rest of the novel.
Ok so some things have been eating me alive and I feel like I should be doing something about it. The purpose of this book is not to talk about myself, although it may seem so at times because it's really about a perspective.
This perspective is the one that nobody wants to bring to light. The one that skirts around just about every conversation that has ever happened. Maybe it's because we are all afraid to say some things, but I think fear deserves a little more credit here. Maybe it's the embarrassment that we even have the audacity to come up with such things. Or maybe it's just us. Not because we're scared or humiliated, but because we can't.
Initially, I wanted to change the world, but until I can, I suppose I'll just share these thoughts with you. Honestly, I don't even think I'll be alive long enough to do something great, so consider this as probably the only 'good' thing I'll ever do in my entire pathetic existence.
Over the years, I've come down to many discoveries and realisations, that I will share with you and hope that you come out a better person after hearing what I have to say. Or at least realise that you're never really alone in any of this, because most people feel the same way, to some extent.
Anyways, I feel like I should put some disclaimers up. If you're not prepared for emotional blurbs or controversial topic, it's highly advised that you stop reading this immediately. I'm not one to BS things; I'm here to give the truth. Keep in mind that not everyone I ready to hear it just yet.
I've been thinking about writing this for a long time, so without further ado, here we go.
