I was miserable. Miserable. And I never thought I would be miserable in life, ever. I was always the happiest person. I was never a star athlete. I was never the ladies man.

I'm a peacemaker. I hate arguing with people. I don't like fighting. Even with all this size. If I've gotten into two or three fights in my life, it. It's way too many. I like peace. It's a good time. I like to smile and laugh. Living a life like that and then all of a sudden, having it all just pulled away really, really, really changed my life.
