I just finished a 3 hour Skype conversation with my good and dear friend Megan Beland, and here is what Ive learned about myself: Yes, I have issues and no, I am not perfect. I have an ongoing drug problem which I continue to struggle with.. however, I CONTINUE to help people who rarely are able to help themselves. I often take the difficult road and stand up for people, often those who have NO voice. This often gives me a BAD REPUTATION, but speaking out when you know something wrong is being done is NOT a weakness, its a strength.... one that I am VERY proud of. I often take on the hardest of cases. To date: * three people have committed suicide either in front of me or on the phone with me * one person has committed suicide and Ive had to identify their body * Ive rescued over 50 people from the streets * Ive become an advocate for people living with HIV and AIDS * Ive become an advocate for those living with mental health illness * Ive stood up for whats right, even at the risk of backlash from ASOs and other social service agencies, such as the AIDS COMMITTEE OF TORONTO. Im proud of what Ive done, and hold no regrets.
