Prologue

monologue

Ever since I can remember, there’s one phrase that everyone would tell me, a sort of motivational phrase. I’m sure you've heard it; “you’re special”. As much as I’d like to say that’s true, it really wasn't. I ate like a normal person, I cried like a normal person, I exercised like a normal person... well I think you get the point now... I guess the point I’m trying to make is that the word “special” is used to much. You see the reason is because it doesn't exactly point out the specific characteristics of a person that makes them who they are. As a substitute for the word “special” I would use “individual”. There are plenty of special people in the world, but not enough individuals. I guess that’s what really set me apart from everyone and ultimately what set me on my life journey. I as an individual, wrote this book, I as an individual have a perspective of my own on life, I as an individual like very unusual things... and so I give you the story of the individual named Yosef Feinstein.

Hey! This is short, but a very gripping beginning. It makes me anticipate the rest, so good job there!
I'd like to point out a few things, hopefully they're helpful!
You're using commas where you could do with periods or other forms of permanent punctuations. An example of this would be "As a substitute for the word “special” I would use “individual”, there were plenty of special people in the world, but not enough individuals." You could easily break this down into two sentences like so "As a substitute for the word "special", I would use "individual". There are (be careful of tense changes) plenty of special people in the world, but not enough individuals."
Some of your sentences run together, which is where I would suggest throwing in breaks. For that, you'd have to go through this yourself, perhaps read it to yourself and see how it flows and where a comma or a period would be sufficient. Sometimes knowing the cadence of your prose is a great way of figuring out how to keep it going smooth.
For the most part, that's the majority of what I saw. Try working through it and see how it goes. I hope my tips helped!
This was a very good beginning otherwise, and I can't wait to read the rest. Well done! :)
