I have started the book with a compilation of several short stories. The reader will be taken through my early childhood years up to my adult life. I will be writing about the aforementioned material, such as the psychological and physical effects of drug and alcohol addictions and its complex role in the family dynamics. I will be writing on the elements of the cycles of mental illness, focusing specifically on schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and depression. I'll share my adventures in foreign countries. The reader will enjoy a broad scope of topics.
