Ever look back at your life and think: how in the hell am I still here? How did I survive that? If I were to write an account of my life, no one would believe it. And so, I guess, most of us pass away not telling our story. What’s that old saying? Was it Mark Twain who said that ‘truth is stranger than fiction’? Twain was on the money with his observation: this life and these experiences, I couldn’t make them up if I tried! I remember when I was a teenager thinking no one felt like I did. I was soooooo misunderstood. But now, as an adult I think a lot of us feel much the same way, that when we look in the rear view mirror, we wonder how the heck
we even made it this far.
