I’m better now. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

It seems for a while I was lost, and couldn’t see the bigger picture (I hate when I do that).<\/p>\n

I needed a good flow of negative energy to respark my need and will to survive<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Yes. I need my hate and rage and pain. It’s what keeps me feeling for others. I need my chaos and mayhem to appreciate order. I need to see the world through the eyes of a child to tap into the magic and wonder that we seem to lose over the years. No matter how absurd it appears on the surface… I need to believe, and listen to that still, small voice inside me as my guide.<\/p>\n

I need to believe and set my course to the largest star and follow it.<\/p>\n

And that star is leading me the hell out where I currently live.
\nAll I needed was a chance….<\/p>\n
