I always knew that I wouldn't amount to much, that I was a troubled kid who'd end up being a troubled adult. I just never thought I'd sink so low. Never thought I'd be so messed up. I changed who I was, a complete 180, everyone was so impressed but they shouldn't have been. Truth is, I haven't changed at all, I just hid it real well and let it lay dormant. I'm the same screwed up criminal I always was. The same drunken failure.

I convinced a lot of people I'd changed, including myself. Now that the fog has lifted for me, I might as well not try to hide it anymore.

We're all only human, Só leigheas! I'm sure circumstances have played a large part in whatever set of outcomes you've experienced.

Maybe I'm naive, but I think sometimes the most troubled of us are the most innocent, because we're the ones who couldn't adapt more readily to what is a very sick society.

The people I run into who are super-successful and act snooty beyond belief like they're above other people and have the right to make others feel badly about misfortunes absolutely sicken me. I'm proud to be a failure! I only wish that it paid a little better.

Wishing you solace in your journey.
