I simply cannot accept a future where I am as miserable then as I am today.

I’m glad you liked that statement. It’s an odd feeling to see one’s own words quoted and featured somewhere else. You add impact to them that I don’t feel was there when they were packed in amidst the other words. What I find interesting is that I still feel that way. I must change now because staying the same will be hell. Thank you.

So thank you. :)
