Thursday, July 30, 2015. My childhood has been interesting. Everyone who knew me as a boy has unforgettable stories to share. From the outside they must have found it. But I have been trying to forget everything because there weren’t many beautiful moments I could cherish. I don’t want to be hateful. I want to be different. Life would have been different if I was cute. It could have been forgivable if I was rich, or at least talented. I was miserable in studies, sports, music and everything that ...Matur...
