The Human Aspect of Eysteinn

I never felt fully included in society and felt my efforts never reached the level of my peers. This insecurity and low self-worth grew in my teens until I found my magic potion -alcohol. I continued to chase a high to cover for my inner emptiness, and I ended up completely outside society. The shame of my position despite having no excuses for my felt shortcoming was the last step of my hopelessness.
