What if you started off by writing an intro- you could have yourself sitting in your room writing down in your journal then you can close the book and then speak specifically to the audience. " I don't know how things got so messed up, one minute things are great and then the next (insert recent drama here)" THEN blabber on it a bit and then you could be like " Sorry, I guess I'm getting ahead of myself here. I'm not known for my exceptional story telling skills so bare with me." THEN you could have a flashback of whatever part of the your life you want to go back to..meeting ray or having the family issues it's up to you really. PM me whatever you write first ;)
