A Raw Story and Real Advice to Change Your Life

This book is fully written by me, a human author. AI was used only for images, under my strict control. The visuals are meant to immerse the reader deeper into the atmosphere of my life.

What if your life began in a place where violence was normal, alcohol was survival, and every friendship could end in a fight?

This is the brutally honest memoir of a young man from Eastern Europe who grew up surrounded by chaos — and refused to stay in it.

Fistfights in the streets. Addiction to computer games. Betrayal in love. Cold nights without food or heating.
Every chapter is a punch to the gut — and a lesson in survival.

But this story isn't just about pain.
It's about the power of change.
About escaping the darkness and building a new life — through discipline, education, and belief in yourself.

Inside this book:

• A true coming-of-age story filled with raw experiences,
• Powerful lessons on overcoming poverty, addiction, and broken relationships,
• Real-life motivation for teens, young men, and immigrants trying to rebuild,
• No excuses. No sugar-coating. Just the truth.

You will follow Roman Kartashevsky's journey:
– from forgotten villages to brutal jobs,
– from street fights to the kickboxing ring,
– from part-time studies in Belarus to earning a master's degree in Poland.

He didn't have perfect parents, money, or luck.
But he had something else: the will to fight for a better future.

- This book is for:

Boys and men growing up without role models
Teens trapped in toxic environments
Immigrants trying to start again
Anyone who needs a wake-up call to fight for their life
Readers of gritty, motivational memoirs like Can't Hurt Me, The Way of the Fight, or Man's Search for Meaning

You don't need money, privilege, or a lucky break.
You need courage.
And someone to tell you:

- I crawled out of hell. Now it's your turn!
