I write for everyone who has ever felt stepped on, left out, isolated and unloved. I write so people will know that I have a voice; that I am still here, standing proud despite everything I've been through. But most importantly I write to tell that lonely kid out there who's thinking about killing himself: YOU MATTER, NEVER SURRENDER!

The path each of us must walk is seldom clear or easy. And though we may lose our way we must continue forward, using the knowledge and gifts given to us to light the way.
