Writing
PROLOGUE:
METHOD TO THE CAT-NESS
Heads’ve been calling me crazy since primary school, and though I can see how they’d reach that conclusion, I honestly don’t think it’s fair. Truth is, at some point during my childhood probably around eight or nine, I simply got sick of all the adults around me steady fronting, and trying to put positive spins on shit I wasn’t trying to hear. So I just promised myself that no matter my life played out, whatever I became, I’d never sacrifice one piece of my true spirit in the process, and wind up some terminally lost, broken shell of the man I could’ve been, like so many tragic mopes.
