So, read this story the way you'd listen to a friend sharing their secrets. Maybe you'll see parts of yourself in these pages, or maybe you won't. Either way, I hope it makes you feel something real, because that's all that matters. And one last thing, the ending is yours. I may have written the final chapter, but the way this story lives on depends on you, your thoughts, your emotions, and the way you carry it with you after you turn the last page.
