On the surface, it seems like he's a great guy. However, if you were to take a closer look at his character, you'll begin to notice that he's not as much of a saint as many make him out to be.

Everyone Has A Key To The World
A massive interest of mine is storytelling, and it is, in my not so humble opinion, one of the finest traits mankind has weaves into it’s system. We have went out of our way to create entertainment and stories that may never happen, because we enjoy it, because it empowers us, because we can grasp some idea of truth and the path forward with our own lives. So as an amateur writer myself, I hope to pass on a footnote of insight I’ve realized about writing. This one line:
