Chapter 1: Genisis
Have you ever kicked a dog when it’s down?
Life has decided that I am that dog on occasion!
Why? I have no idea!!! None at all!!!
And over the more than 60 years of my life a lot of people decided to do the kicking as well.
The fact that I have survived in my head is - to me - surprising!
I don’t think that I am special in any way.
Have the kicks hurt?
Yes!
In ways that I can’t begin to describe.
Have I ever given up?
Yes!
But then something happens to make me decide to fight.
And coming back from “That Place” is hard!
Very Hard!
But I have - and I will keep coming back!
Until the day I die...
I did not enjoy typing what you are going to read here but by typing my memories into my old laptop I got the resolve to get up, just one more time, to keep going, despite everything!
