Plain and Simple.

FOREWORD!

"You don't get to choose if you get hurt in this world, but you do have some say in who hurts you." -John Green.

Life is full of many things. Thought and action, trial and error, mistakes and successes. There are the stories you are willing to tell a million times, and the stories you wish to never repeat and pretend they never happened. Lots of people in the world have both kinds of stories. While they like to avoid the embarrassing part of their life that they are utterly ashamed of re-telling, not saying it proves it neither wrong nor unavoidable. There will come a day where you have an undesired epiphany and realise that one day the important people in your life will want to know your embarrassing stories, how you overcame all that and got to where you are now...and while you would much rather reply with: "Dunno...comes with time I guess." You know deep down inside that you have a very vivid story of every single mistake you've ever made, and you're just afraid of coming to terms with it.
My life so far has been a long series of embarrassing moments. Embarrassing moments of thought and action, of trial and error and of course, mistakes and successes. While many people in this world have every possible problem with sharing their full life stories for fear of embarrassment. I don't.
This is my story of survival and of triumph.
This is a semi-autobiographical book. Most events involved are real but names of people, settings, and times it occurred may have been changed. And while this book may be based on actual events in my life, I again quote the brilliant John Green in saying : "It's a work of fiction, I made it up."
