Autobiography of William Harrell

Preface

So, I guess to start, I wanted to say a couple things before I delve into everything.

I've had a pretty hectic life. By far, not the worst, but certainly much more than any adolescent/young adult should have to go through. By no means do I want to disrespect anyone with similar, or even worse experiences. I like to say that I grew up with a pretty loving family, just happened to be struck with some really unfortunate circumstances over and over again. That being said, there are a lot of things I cannot relate to nor have much of a viewpoint on. My life certainly wasn't anything like A Long Way Gone  or anything like that, but in many cases fits the textbook definition of traumatic. (which Google defines as "emotionally disturbing or distressing"). On the flip side, I will detail some experiences that some people can relate to, or may also consider personally traumatic. Once again, I'll attempt to remain as accurate and truthful as possible, and if that disturbs any of you... sorry in advance. You can PM me, comment, whatever you want to rant about it or say that it touched you emotionally. Or, if it doesn't, maybe you'll find my story amusing or something. Whatever it is to you, I hope you get something out of it. Whether by knowing that you aren't alone in some experiences, or maybe it's just funny to an extent, which some things kind of are. At any rate, here's my story detailed as I remember it.
