When the flame turns gold.

To say it all ended that day would be to lie — to exaggerate — and yet there is still somewhat of a truth to it. Something did end, however small or insignificant it may seem to the people not involved. My life.

But I will not go without telling my story, without sharing my experiences in the hopes of finding someone who relates. I hope to be there for someone, not just be a part of a statistic that will soon be forgotten or replaced.

I want my story to be told; I want to be remembered, even if it is only for the next 10 years. And I hope, dear reader, that you will live on: to honour my memory by telling my story, to remember, and to be able to say the words "I lived".

If there is an afterlife, I hope that when your time is done, we will meet and you will smile; smile for the life you lived, for the stories you took part in, for the memories you shared.

I hope to hear you say "I lived, and I told your story." for then I could thank you, and ask you to tell yours.
