PAST
The lonely kid who didn’t have friends because of an overbearing mother
The rebellious teenager who wouldn’t go to church
The high school theater ****** who sloughed his grades for acting
The high school senior who graduated by some miracle
The gas station attendant who hated his job
PRESENT
The half-man mess of emotions trying to grow out of childhood
The last minute student who’s trying to trying to fix his mistakes
The unemployed wreck of a person trying to find his place
The love-stricken jack of all trades that can’t settle for imperfection
FUTURE (hopes)
The successful IT who just moved to the United Kingdom
The artist who can accept that his creations are beautiful
The writer who isn’t tortured by a lack of self worth and anxiety
The adventurous romantic who travels the world by his side
FUTURE (fear)
The bitter man who couldn’t let go of all of his pain and hurt
The old man who couldn’t learn to be a part of his own family
The man lying on the bed, neither dreaming nor thinking, just lost
The shell of a man who never tried and only failed himself in the end
