Prologue
My life from the very beginning was a great challenge. Not the kind you talk about with friends at a table, nor the kind that ends happily after one difficult decision. It was something that grew with me day by day, step by step, until it finally became a part of me. Sometimes I started to wonder whether, if I had a chance to start over, I would choose this life of a pop star or remain unchanged, a punk that deep in my heart I still was somewhere.
Because the truth was that the world of show business can change everything. The lights, the screams of fans and perfectly staged smiles, it is addictive and makes you forget who you were before. Or maybe you are just trying to forget.
However, thanks to her, I discovered myself again. She showed me that with her I never had to be perfect or be like her. Only myself, truly myself.
Because in reality I was never that perfect pop star everyone loved and admired. I was actually cynical and tired of my own life.
Time quickly showed me that all secrets eventually come to light, and a person eventually wakes up with the thought of ending the pretending.
In the end, someday it had to come out what a person really was.
