I like to see the difference between good and evil as kind of like the foul line at a baseball game. It's very thin, it's made of something very flimsy like lime, and if you cross it, it really starts to blur where fair becomes foul and foul becomes fair. ↗

I silently cursed the frailty of happiness and doubted whether it ever existed for me.

So I looked ahead of me and dreamed on into the darkness, hoping to one day find someone who would love me. ↗
