A Story of Crime, Romance, Betrayal, and Mystery

     They knew all the right things to say to convince me. Who am I to turn down such an incredible deal? I was a desperate man, and they seemed like professionals willing to help.

     My name is Samuel Davis and I used to be what some may call “unemployable.” You see, I have never been afraid to bend the rules a little, but then the whole “criminal law of the land” issue arises. Of course, I was not very good at it, but I at least managed to stay out of jail and the grave. I hated being a criminal, but I had no choice.

     Why not just go get myself a regular job? Well, I tried: I used to work as a carpenter for several different companies, a locksmith here and there, and for a little while I even chopped wood near my home and tried to sell it. But after a while construction projects stop, people quit hiring, and firewood is replaced by electricity.

     Oh, and this was not the worst part. My home was falling apart and food is not free, so I had to borrow money from countless places. But of course, an unemployed man borrowing money is a fast road to disaster: the loans were ready to default and banks would not even look at a man like me. So give me a break for accepting the agreement. Desperate men do crazy things.

No Moment in Life is Insignificant

     Sometimes the only way up is down. Sometimes you must tear yourself down to build yourself up. Sometimes the only way to appreciate something is to lose it. Sometimes the only way to enjoy your life is to be thrown into another person's shoes. Sometimes the only way to be glad for yourself is to destroy everything you know.

     Be glad you are at least alive. There is always someone in a worse situation than you can possibly be in. Be thankful for everything in your life; anything can be turned to benefit you if you look at it in the right perspective. If all you do is search for darkness, you will never find the light.

     I lost someone dear to me a few months ago, and I have just now decided to write about it. It hurts to look back and realize I can never see or speak to this person again. I am trying to move forward and stay motivated, but it is harsh realizing my mistakes.

     Do not let a single moment seem insignificant to you, even the bad times. I have grown as a person and hope to inspire others to grow the same way. Without pain, there is no pleasure. We must learn from our mistakes to make the future a better one for those around us, and for those who come after us.

I would like to hear about your struggles, and how you pushed past them. I wish to seek the light in all situations and would appreciate your support in this dark time. Thank you for reading.
