Full Disclosure

As a teen i had problems with anxiety and depression. High school sucked. I did a lot of drugs, and had a lot of sex. I had no self image so I tried to make one. I started with being a difficult contrarian. I got into communism, I questioned my sexuality, I even consider changing genders. I really believed I could change who I was entirely and people would like me more. I was always at odds with school faculty. some said I was "smart but lazy". others thought I was just "some punk kid" I went into full-force rebellion. Then the day came and I was an adult. I got my GED 2 weeks after the last day of school. I got a job as a glorified receptionist. My official title was "assistant to the CIO". that went sour due to my lack of interest and commitment. I had no idea what I wanted to do but it definitely wasn't that. I was In and out of 12 step programs, I must of tried all the substance abuse groups. then i found myself at the last option, so I joined the Army. I was given a general discharge from basic training. It's because I joined for all the wrong reasons. i saw it as an opportunity to turn my self loathing and general hatred of the world into a heroic death. my plan was to die in a blaze of glory. Luckily the universe had other plans. upon my removal from training i landed in Idaho where i partied when i could, i was homeless, and i had no aspiration. i attempted to finish the job sans the glory. I've never been a very religious person but I had an experience that I can only describe as a conversation with god. I'd survived yet again. So I came back to California with the help of a friend and got sober again. That's when I reconnected with my Ex-wife who I knew from my exploits as a juvenile delinquent. She was pregnant when we started dating but i took her son under my wing and was proud that i had a step son. we got married soon after. we had 2 more kids before things got hard. after the divorce, everything i had worked so hard for was gone so i worked fast food and went to the bar all week and had my kids all weekend. I have lived a rough life and I'm constantly trying to "pull myself up by the bootstraps". which brings me to why i want to run for governor. I have learned through my life that things are tough for everyone, and its mostly the government. If there wasn't so much government over-reach i would be far better off, and so would everyone else. If I were elected, i could easily make life better for everyone. It's not about the prestige or the money or even the power. i just want to be able to live my life without all the government restrictions on how i can pursue happiness. Would you like to start a business? I know i would. Would you like to find full-time employment? I would. I'm not asking for lifetime appointment. I just need a single term to make my changes and fix this disaster of a state.
