His pure intentions to better himself did not sit right with many of the people who entered his life early on. He wanted to grow and create, yet instead of being met with understanding, he often found himself surrounded by conflict, manipulation, and circumstances that challenged his ability to trust the people around him. Over time, he was exposed to individuals whose behavior deeply affected the way he understood relationships. He witnessed patterns of dishonesty, manipulation, and blame that left lasting impressions on him. At one point, accusations and statements were made about him that ultimately resulted in him being placed in a facility for approximately a month and a half. For him, the experience was difficult to understand. He knew the difference between making mistakes and intentionally trying to hurt someone. He could recognize his own imperfections, but he could not find within himself the cruelty that others had attributed to him.
