"You know my name ,not my story" As cliché as this may seem , it suits me perfectly. What you see is an illusion that I've perfected over the years...if only you could see my heart and the pain that I've put it through....if only you could feel the pain my body has endured. .. if only you could've experienced the torture ,the self loathing, then finally forgiveness and accepting what I have been through...so that you too could understand why I am who I am ..and how I have become so strong....You have NO IDEA who I am...only the illusion that I choose to feed to you....I'm not perfect, I'm damaged goods; and I've learned to accept that...just like I've learned to love and value my life as well... " You don't know me" This is an autobiography on my life and I will not hold back on any details...you are forewarned . This will be a form of me venting because to date I haven't told anyone of all that I've experienced throughout my life. You may ask why I am doing so now...well I'm hoping by me speaking out I can encourage another that there can be a life after any type of pain.

"Talk to you about it?" I asked with a dark laugh. "it's not as easy as you make it sound," "Yes, Garret! Talking! You know what that is right? It's very easy! You just open your mouth and let the words that are in your head, come out of your mouth." "It's not that simple," I fought down emotions that were building up. "Yes, it is! See, i'm doing it right now!" "No-it's not!" "Yes!" "No!" "Yes! just talk, dang it!-" "You just expect it to be easy to talk about my dead parents?! About how guilty I feel for not visiting their grave for the past 11 years?! I didn't even realize how long it's been, I had pretty much forgotten about them for 11 years! Do you know what kind of guilt is eating at me right now!" I shouted in angst, my hands grabbing at the clothes on top of my head and pushing it into myself, wanting to just be shielded away from everything I was feeling, guilt, sadness, from thinking about more people I've lost in my life. Before I could even react, Keeley's tiny arms wrapped themselves around my torso. ~
