I don’t consider myself to have lived a remarkable life. I haven’t achieved any great success and I don’t consider myself to be an extraordinary person. 

You are now more than likely asking yourself, 'why would I want to read about this uninteresting person?' I would be doing the same.

I consider myself to be a person who has witnessed and experienced the events and consequences of what life has to throw at my generation in Australia - family separation, being bullied and then becoming the bully, being an obese teen, losing a brother to suicide, alcohol and drug abuse and my own mental health challenges that led me down a path of anger, blame and denial to one night where I was laying in bed contemplating ending it all.

I am shedding light on these experiences in hope that they will inspire those who find themselves treading similar paths - these are the messages I would want to give my 27 year old self.
