Joe Gacy Promo 

I’ve made mistakes. I’ve done unthinkable things. I have enjoyed watching people suffer. And I’ve seen horrors and I like it. I like it because I understand it. I had to go through my own pain and suffering just to get me where I am today. And I am not justifying my actions, I’m just telling you that I’m only human, right? I’ve made mistakes just like anyone else. Nobody is perfect. But still, peers, friends, strangers, all stab me with judgmental eyes, day after day. I mean, is it me? Am I the problem? I’m not asking for forgiveness. I know there’s a darkness inside of me, built because of my past. Once upon a time, I was tethered to society, binded by the people around me, but now there is no strings on me. And maybe you are the kind of person that believes in fairy tales, but then again, maybe you’re not?
