Here's to the Misfits

"Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do."

Prologue
My life had always been unfair.

No, perhaps I wasn't the most unlucky person on the face of the earth, yet I was pretty close. For my entire life, I had to struggle with hardship and injustice, struggles and decisions. For most of those, I picked wrong. I don't know if it was my destiny to be constantly struggling, but it sure wasn't pleasant.

It all started in a small town in Maine, in the middle of nowhere. I was nobody back then; all I had to think about was how to deal with my drunken father, and what my next meal would be.

Of course, my mother wasn't present, which was unusual. For most children, it was the other way around.

Yet, I was too young to question it. I just took all of the hardship that life threw at me and attempted to work through it.

Sometimes I made the right decisions. But most of the time, I made the wrong ones.

My name is Ethan Nakamura, and this is my story.
