The Formula: Creating Your Dream Life (1st Book)!

Donation protected

https://www.facebook.com/nulledgh0st/ On my journey for success, I lost sight of who I was. Drugs, addiction, jail-time, losing everyone I cared for - rock bottom's a bitch.

 

 

 

 

I don't really post on Facebook much these days, however, I'd like to share something today that means a lot to me - and I hope that you take a few minutes to read this.

So, I've finally decided to start my very first book this weekend - titled "The Formula: Leveraging Trauma, Loss, & Crypto To Create My Dream Life".

I'm starting a Kickstarter to help me cover Publishing costs, book cover design, copyright and intellectual property rights, time spent creating a website and registering as a legitimate business, etc.

I would TRULY appreciate all support from my friends and family - I am writing a story about my life and the struggles I've encountered throughout.

A little context/background that should explain some things...

---

This book is meant to explain a variety of things about my life over the past 10+ years - things that some of you may be very familiar with, while others may have 0 clues as to what I'm talking about. No worries - either way, I think you'll find a lot of valuable insight contained in the pages within.

I start off by explaining a lot of things that detail my life - and why I became the person I am today.

My addiction to drugs. My various stints through homelessness and living on the streets. Going for weeks on end without eating. Spending time in jail - 3 different times... (which unfortunately was my own fault).

 

Sadly, when I spent time in jail, I didn't call or write a single person. Every single person in my life thought I was dead. It was by far the MOST selfish act I have EVER committed, and it haunts me to this day - the pain I put everyone I love dearly through. For them to forgive me is something that I will personally never understand, because I can't even imagine the pain and trauma that this selfish act caused them.

 

My family, my friends, my colleagues, and even random strangers believed in me - even when I had absolutely zero belief in myself. These people gave me the tools, support, and love I needed to get back on my feet, to empower myself, and to realize that I AM CAPABLE of making something of my life - no matter how deep in the hole I felt I was.


Without these people, I would NOT be here today. I've attempted suicide not once, but twice in my life - and while I hate admitting this, I feel it's incredibly important to share this. Honesty is how we grow as humans. The opportunity that this incredible group of people have provided me has changed my life for the better, and has helped put me on a MUCH better path - one where I feel that I am actually contributing to society, and I am so grateful for that.

 

And then, I have to give a special shoutout to a stand up gent by the name of Zac Wenderlish - a person with an absolute heart of gold, and one of my absolute best friends. We met on my very first trip to Mexico years back, and he's never thought poorly of me or shunned me when I needed a friend most. This man believed in me and gave me a shot at life when everything seemed completely hopeless for me. Without him, I very well may not be here today. Thank you for believing in me bro - you've never judged me, and you've given me opportunities and trusted me when few others would. Your friendship has been absolutely invaluable and I cherish every moment of it. You're a stand up guy and I'm proud to call you my friend - even if you can't drive for shit LOL.

 

ANYWAYS, this book is my way to share my gratitude and thanks to those that stuck by my side through thick and thin - the ones that never gave up on me.

 

Thank you all for believing in me and being there for me. Without you all, I would not be the man I am today. You've all given me the opportunity to grow as a human, and to find purpose in my life - I CAN make something of myself, and I 110% intend on doing exactly that.

 

I love you all. Thank you.

 

 

 

 

I would truly appreciate it if you helped support my GoFundMe so that I can write this book and share it with the world - I'm not trying to get rich from it. I simply wish to share my story and (hopefully) help others realize that they too can achieve their dreams - even if you feel like the deck is stacked against you. By supporting my GoFundMe, you're allowing me to focus my time and energy on creating a book that hopefully, can help others. If I can help even 1 person realize that life is worth living for, and that no matter the circumstances you're facing, nothing is impossible, and your dreams are absolutely achievable.

 

You just have to give it your all and believe in yourself. I'm living proof that with time, effort, and willpower, you can accomplish anything you set your mind to. 2 years ago I was literally living on the streets, sleeping on a park bench in the dead of winter, with nothing but a thin blanket and a single pair of clothes that I had from when I was released from jail.

 

With perseverance and the kindness of strangers, I was given opportunities, which I took full advantage of to make something of myself and get back on my feet.

 

I was over $40k in debt - my credit score was in the low 400s. I couldn't even get a $25 loan if I wanted to. No one trusted me as far as they could throw me - and for good reason. I broke everyone's trust and betrayed those that cared about me, all for my own selfish, drug-addled reasons. To say that I was ashamed of this is a total understatement - I was absolutely mortified at how badly I hurt everyone that so deeply cared for and loved me.
