A story founded upon a crossroad, in which one decision created peace and impending sorrow...

Proceeding a long duration of prosperity, hope, and positivity being accompanied by tremendous individuals and new experiences; a series of tragedies drastic, horrid, and vigorously consecutive occurred. These unforeseen circumstances prompted me to make the decision to abandon all of the incredibly influential people & experiences that had given me so many blissful memories for years to come. I decided to make this adjustment In an attempt to keep said individuals pure and prospering. I felt the overwhelming pain and needed to improve and elevate my own life. I felt at the time this could only be achieved with the comfort of solitude. My goal was indeed reached. Yet, the consequences of this victory leave me at arms length from those in whose grasp I called my home.

I wanted them to be able to dance while I bled. Yet, nevertheless... We wept.

I am sorry.
