HIGHLY CONDENSED LIFE STORY! :)

My name is Greg aka DV8tion on IRC (When no one is trying to steal my NICK! AND YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE!) anyways. I was born and raised in Louisville , Kentucky. I attended Public schools, where I was an F & D student. The reason for this was an abusive childhood. Imagine how good I could have done if my family gave a damn! I have suffered severe depressions in adulthood because of this.

I am happy to say, though, that all things no matter how impossible can be accomplished. All it takes is the will and support from friends. I know that I probably wouldn't be here today if it hadn't been for my friends.

Deep down inside I had hidden myself from the rest of the world. I didn't know any better, I had been hurt. I was at the point of no longer wanting to live. Not suicide, that was for cowards. I just didn't want to hurt any longer. If I tried to live, I had every reason at the time to believe that life would continue to hurt, and I had my fill.

Then from out of nowhere a friend came into my life, I still today wonder "Why?". This friend took me away from the chaos, and the abuse that I was acostomed to. I honestly didn't know how to act for a while. The pain lingered, and later the selfdestruction began to surface. I know I put my friend through hell, but he rode it out with me.

To make a long story short, through the stubbornness and love of my friends and family I am enjoying a life today that I *NEVER* thought I would have the chance to live. I just want them to know how grateful I am and to thank them for not giving up on me.
