This is the beginning of my exploration of my history. i know it will be hard to put everything here... but i have to get it out of my head. i haven't decided yet if i'm going to try to tell this story chronologically or if i am going to skip around. i just know i have to tell it. i am tired of it eating at me. All names will be changed to protect the innocent. So will places. But, that is the extent of the fiction here. It is time to quit running. Time to face down my demons.
