Shipwrecked
Fool that I am, I thought sailing to the Andaman Islands by myself would be an awesome experience. Which it was until the storm of all storms hit me head on. Waves tossed my ship about like a duck in god's bathtub. I resigned myself to certain death. Then after what seemed like days, the storm just stopped. But my ship was for all practical purposes destroyed. The rudder and mast were gone. The motor wasn’t working. Nothing but the hull remained. I should have been killed. But as you might have realized, since I am telling this story, I survived. Although given my situation death might have been a mercy.

Why You Should Love Yourself
Growing up, I learned many times over how hard life could be. I wouldn't even claim to have had an abnormally difficult upbringing. My birth being the result of a few mistakes, a bit too much alcohol and the decision to not get an abortion, I was never given the opportunity to have a full and healthy childhood or family, something that hangs over me to this day. I held it against my mother, and my father, and their mothers and fathers. I took issue with the world at large that had strained them in so many ways, and the systems of government that had failed to help them find a better place in life. It is very easy after all, to slump your shoulders, defeated by the hardships of life. To seek the origin of your burdens and complications, hoping to understand why you carry this weight that you do, and to choose anger and spite and sadness in the face of these things that have put you in the place you are in today.
