Before I begin, I must warn you that what you are about to read may be hard to swallow.
It is my life in its rawest form. I don't intend for it to be pretty or to be particularly self-deprecating. It is the truth; my truth.
It is a dying man's wish to explain his life as he sees it.
Now others may have their opinions of me, many of which will be told to you throughout your life.
Just know that this is the closest to the truth you will find of me.
I apologize for my lack of detail, but I seem to be under a time constraint.
I write in this diary as an explanation. Here lies the details of my life as I am approaching death. It is an explanation of who I am and what I have done. It is the story of my worst flaw, my greatest love, my gravest mistake and ultimately, my change of heart.
These are the diaries of Regulus Arcturus Black.
