If you stop listening to the noise of everyday life and start hearing the beauty that surrounds us all, amazing things can happen. The path to finding one’s true self is different for everyone and the journey can start in unpredictable ways. It just takes that first step towards acceptance and the belief in being who you are. Some roads are smooth and straight, while others are jagged and winding. Often it is peaceful and cohesive but in some extreme cases it can be volatile and disjointed with countless dots needing to be connected for the vision to come to light.

This story is the real-life accounting of how he navigated the chaos and dysfunction that culminated in the realization that he doesn’t “hate” human nature, he just never understood who he was and why he never smiled.
