I know it's real this time.
I can feel it.
I turn on the video camera.
I stare at the light blinking.
As the seconds tick on I still stare.
I begin to mumble some words.
Dad, I'm sorry.
I don't know why I'm sorry.
But I'm sorry.
I just can't do this anymore.
I don't even know who I am.
I've lost myself.
And it seems to be that I can't find myself.
Or the way back.
Please don't blame yourself.
Please.
I love you.
Please tell Ronnie and Spence the same.
Stay strong and stay safe.
I'll see you all eventually.
I pause.
