Oh how can the world change completely in twenty-four hours? I mean, I have heard people talk about their worlds being toppled 'upside down' but this was… Words fail to describe how dramatically my life changed in 1440 minutes, 86400 seconds, you get the deal.

Waking up that day - I believe it was a Tuesday, clouded as well - I found myself in the beautiful arms of my girlfriend. Thinking back to that day, it makes me smile dumbfounded Every. Single. Time. I mean, that woman could kiss! And hit the sheets… Once my eyes opened, looking into the warm orbits of gold, every muscle aching from the previous night's 'activity', I felt complete. Whole. One. Indestructible. Oh how wrong I was. It took but twenty-four hours for my personal hell to begin.
