This is my life story. Please be gentle.
"A person never hurts someone without feeling hurt themselves."
There are many things in this world that I find interesting. The one that tops the list though? Honesty. It's a deal breaker in all human relationships and interactions. If we are being honest here though, no one ever really places the same level of importance on their being honest. I myself, am included. In fact, many of us go to great lengths to avoid being honest until we are caught up in webs of lies. And then where do we end up? Lost, the beginning of where we started, or worse; even further back. 
Sometimes it's as though humankind would go to the ends of the earth to avoid being caught, a manhunt that never ends. Nine times out of ten its because of our selfishness, the other, is because we want to avoid others being hurt by our actions, or rather, we want to avoid the reality that our actions have consequences. And we hurt people. 
This book is me trying to end my vicious cycle. My cycle of hurting people. Have you ever heard of the phrase, "hurt people hurt people"? If you haven't, take a moment to ponder it. This phrase has been the basis of my obsession with honesty, with my curiosity in the meaning behind the meaning of this. 
Anyways, if there is one goal I have with exposing my truth to the world, it is this: to help. I want whoever reads this to take a look into their lives, realize their trail of terror, if they have one, and to end it. Yes, "hurt people hurt people", but if the hurt take their experiences and turn it into wisdom, then things will change. One person at a time. 
Thank you.
