Your life doesn't seem plausible. I recall reading some time ago of a novel written entirely in the form of text messages. I'm starting to wonder if this isn't some sort of avant-garde novel written entirely in the form of posts to an obscure classical music discussion board.
I choose to take that as a compliment, because everything I've ever done in my life (which incidentally, I tend to understate) has been achieved by me with no help from anyone.
Every success or failure in my career and business and any financial gains I made, have all been down to me. And in a number of relationships with warm, kind hearted (and often beautiful) women that have ended due to me being distant or unreasonable, unappreciative or simply a shit - I also take full responsibility for. No excuses. But this needs to be viewed in some context or at least have a little background.
For almost the whole year between the ages of 15 and 16 I was homeless. I had next to nothing, although that was a paradise compared to the home life I was brought up in as a child; I wouldn't wish my earliest years upon anyone. So the fact you find my life implausible only further confirms that such a start would have from the outset crushed someone like yourself, while I was strong enough to survive, to move forward and prosper. And that's why I'm taking your words as a compliment.
