Prologue
There is a secret place, deep inside my heart. It is a place of refuge, a place of sanctuary. Here is where I retreat from a world that overwhelms me, a world I can?t control. I bury myself down deep into this solitary place where no one can touch me.
In this place, I am never nervous. There is nothing to be frightened of, no reason to worry about what could happen. Little things like needles and ropes are just that: little things of no importance.
In this place, no one judges me. Not people, not God. In this place, people are patient and quick to offer help. In this place, God looks at me with eyes of absolute mercy and compassion.
In this place, my manhood is never questioned. I am able to defend myself at all times, and no one ever gets the best of me.
In this place, I never back down.
In this place, I can talk to women freely. They do not make me uneasy or insecure. In this place, I always know exactly what to say. I know whether or not someone wants to listen to me, and how long the conversation should last. Here I am always funny, always insightful, always intriguing.
In this place, people laugh with me, not at me.
In this place, I make friends easily. People want to spend time with me, and I don?t have to go to great lengths to prove my worthiness. I always know the right people to befriend, and no one uses me or betrays me.
In this place, I am always right. I never have to worry about correcting my mistakes. In this place, I never have to apologize.
In this place, I am not a failure.
