My story starts as most do, at the beginning, but what was my beginning when it came to pain? In all honesty pain has been there, lingering, in my life for as far back as I can remember. I have no recollection of anything else other than coexisting what we call "pain" from a very early age. It stopped me from connecting with people. It stopped me being me. I was just a bitter version of myself, my own worst enemy.
