Lost Youth Volume 1

My name is Christian Simpson, I am not a paperback writer but I felt I had a story to tell and that story was about my life and the life that I have lived. I feel in us all, we have a story to tell but its finding the time to tell that story. In my case though I suffer from dyslexia so my story was going to be even harder to tell than most. While writing the story of my life (in two volumes) I spent two years of my life revisiting my past and my childhood in thoughts and memories that I had locked away for so many years. It was a past full of memoires of such sadness and loss that I never did wish to revisit. For many years I had placed such memories to the very back of mind and if you like, I threw away that key to never reopening them again. But for me to start the journey of writing a book about my life, the first place I had to re visit was my past. A book written from the deepest part of my heart as so many tears at times did fall upon the keyboard as I typed away. I wanted to share such awful experiences as a way to help others come through any similar problems they face in their own lives. If I could reach out and help just one person through having to go through the pain, sorrow and loss that I suffered then maybe it was all worth it and something good would come from me sharing my life story with others. It seems I had personally laid my past to rest and when writing volume two of my book, it reminded me how I managed to get through it all back when I was young and how I made a personal choice to leave New Zealand in search of a better life. I felt that, now many years later my life is a success story. Now at the completion of my book I look back to recent years of my life and am proud of all that I have achieved. A life that didn?t seem possible and achievements that even you as the reader will find truly amazing. I have grown inner strength and lead a life of recent times full of good karma and helping others, in many ways more than most. This to me is so
