"So maybe our parents weren't the best at creating names, because they gave us our dumb word-spelling initialized names, but everyone has their faults. Mine are the facts that my stupid name explains everything in my life, adding to the fact that I lost my entire right leg to my battle with this unbelievably idiotic disease God created called cancer; but you know what?

We are ourselves, and nothing will ever change that," he said.
