Throughout my youth I believed myself alone and unlovable. I attempted suicide. I spent years in reform. My family locked me away for stretches of time to keep myself and others safe. I took their drugs and stopped my dreams. I lied, I ran, and I hated. I left home lost, scared, and confused. I left everything behind, and in doing so reduced my options to two, death or existence. I sat for years in miserable comfort behind the bars of my delusions, and watched the lips of my friends and family move while the sound of their loving calls twisted through the filter of my prison, only to become further fodder for my self-depreciation. I feared love and reveled in thoughts of destruction.
In the course of my delusion I stumbled to the cliff's edge of my psychological endurance, and looked out at the abyss of nothingness spread before me. After years of running from reality, delusion pointed me to death, and encouraged me to throw myself from its gaping precipice. God alone stilled my step. I chose life when I realized I no longer considered death an option. With this choice I began to accept my inheritance of God's infinitely unified and infinitely diverse personalty. I then chose to take up the responsibility for my necessary experience and expression of self. When I took responsibility for myself, I embraced God. Nothing in and of this world entices me to remain. Yet for God here I am. My resolve stable, my peace present, and my love unlimited.
The church fails us, the government alienates us, and society stereotypes us. We must now take responsibility for ourselves. My declaration seeks if not to answer correctly, to at least bring about the correct questions necessary in understanding how to better live and function in the world. I hope that my work will bring solace to those who have found themselves dissatisfied and disillusioned with the present options available for living a worthwhile life.
