An important voice and story. Colton I watched you on Arrow and loved the character but you’ve gone above and
beyond by sharing your life story. Thank you. I hope it has helped you heal and gives your fulfillment and peace.

To all the queer kids who long for love and attention, to the ones who'd break their own arm, if only to have somebody sign their cast...know that you are deserving of love without pain.

ok i thought it would be fun and cute to read this because i am rewatching teen wolf which i haven't seen in almost a decade, but now based off of the dedication i fear i will be in Pain

How do you rate someone's journey through trials and tribulation? How can you rate someone that their whole life seemed to be judged by what you see on the cover? It really is impossible.

It is crazy how we glorify celebrities but in the same breath knock them down like they aren't human beings. It is crazy we don't expect them to get old and wrinkled, or are appalled that celebrities have the audacity to have break downs or that we can't accept their sexuality. My heart broke with every struggle Colton went through and as I write this through blurred vision from crying I hope he continues his sobriety and makes the best healthy choices and if he doesn't, it's okay because he is human and we are not perfect.
This was extremely brave for him to pour himself out like this and though he doesn't need any admiration, he has it.
This was amazing in the sense that it really opens your eyes to what we don't see, what we don't want to see and what we choose not to see.
We never know what anyone is really going through especially with celebrities, so much is on display but yet nothing is on display.

How do you rate someone's journey through trials and tribulation? In all honesty you shouldn't, I shouldn't not that I am saying the book is bad, just the opposite it's freaking amazing.
I doubt Colton Haynes would ever read this but if it ever came across his view, ... You are a beautiful Soul, forever Miss Memory Lane xoxo

Deeply reflective personal memoir and raw emotions shared throughout. Thoroughly enjoyed getting to learn more about Colton on a personal perspective and understanding his trials and tribulations, additionally to all of his success. His triumphs definitely didn't come easy and my respect for him and his journey has increased significantly after this read (not that it was low before). Really easy read and kept me engaged the whole way through.
