I've never really done one of these' an allegory they may call it, an account perhaps? Maybe they will call it a lie, I don't care. The reason I am doing this is because I know I need to get my experience out there, that's all. Do I want people to believe me? Yeah, I guess I do. Do they have to? Contrary to popular belief, no, they do not have to.
