The Other Side

Prologue

I've never been afraid of death. 

To me, it's just something that we'll never meet; because when we meet it, we simply won't be. All my life though, I've been surrounded by death, but never have I been saddened by it. The trick is not to get emotionally attached to someone, because you always end up losing them. No matter how many people you surround yourself with, you will die alone. 
No matter how depressing that sounds, it is true. You cannot hide from it, it's not a game. Life is not a game. Life is something more complicated, and the complication only gets more....complicated.

Although I do try to emotionally detach myself from all beings, times get lonely, and I have many "friends" but only one has been there through the thick and thin. Her name is Elizabeth. Her family took me in once my mother died and my father skipped out on me at around 4 years of age. I don't remember much of that day, but I do remember lying in bed the night he left- waiting on him to tuck me in... hopelessly thinking I would see him again- that he would be back soon enough, but then realizing not long after, that I was alone. Elizabeth knows everything about my life, well, up until recently...

I'm writing this because I don't know how much time I have left. I don't know when I'll meet death, but I want to leave something behind that lets the world know I was here, and I want you all to know my story. 

I'll start from the very beginning.
