Thorns of Happiness (autobiography) – Work in Progress

I have started writing my memoirs. This is just a rough draft of the beginning of it – there is much more to come!
Thorns of Happiness
Sex, Drugs, Lies, and Rock & Roll – The Death (and Life) of an 80s Wild Child
By Michelle A Hoffmann
Often times we find that the seeds of our happiness are often entangled within the thorns of sadness and despair. What starts out as being acts of courage and kindness often times turns into nightmares of heartache and pain, without the actors even realizing what is happening.
This is the story which I am going to tell. A story of love, hate, friendship, loneliness, despair and hope. The driving force behind this endeavor? A need to help others who, for whatever reason, may be feeling that their existence feels inconsequential; that they are in some way of little or no importance in the grand scheme of things – that the world would be better off without them in it. I want to shine a little light into the darkness… show them that hey, you are NOT inconsequential, you ARE important. Things will get better… you just need to give them the chance. Don’t give up just before crossing the finish line.
Whatever obstacle you may be facing, let me tell you that it is not insurmountable. With the right guidance, you can climb whatever mountain stands in your way and go on to do what you were meant to do.
