I wonder when exactly it was that my life spiraled out of control. Surely it was many years ago. Unfortunately, I can still recall most of my experiences, both good and bad. I had become a tragic mess, I left anyone who I came into contact with with a bitter taste. After awhile I took no relationship seriously-even the one I had desperately wanted. It caused me to lose everything I held dear to me. Why I chose to walk a path a self destruction I cannot tell you, for even I still haven't come to terms with it...

My daily life now is an ordinary one. Work takes up most of my time as it would for anyone. I do not live alone. Currently in my residence is my...partner if you want to call it that. We've been together for several years. He's talked of marriage, but I insisted that there was no need to waste money on a certificate. Younger by four years and ridiculously tall, he seems to tower over me with his upbeat personality. It's a dramatic change from my previous relationships. None have been younger, and none have had a mindset that wasn't related to work. Whether it was writing or teaching, they focused on their careers-as did I. Slowly, it caused our connections to crash and burn.

My past is a complicated one...
