If you find yourself hiding, afraid to pursue your dreams; if you find yourself jumping from relationship to relationship, constantly people pleasing, I know exactly how you feel. Hello, I’m Anthony Butto. Prior to becoming the confident, comfortable, and content person I am today, I was feeling lost, alone, and disconnected. I was led by fear and poor decisions. Like the time I got accepted to Berklee College of Music (Trey Parker, Quincy Jones, and members of Aerosmith are among their 107 Grammy Award-winning alumni), and I turned it down in favor of a smaller, “safer” school. Even though I dreamed of being a rock star, and was a talented musician, I turned away the opportunity to be among the greats, because I was afraid. I also spent 10 years in an unhealthy relationship with a woman. While at first it was fun and exciting, I couldn’t tell anyone about it and I slowly sunk into a pit of shame, secrecy, and self-loathing.
