How many times have you said the words, 'I'm busy.'
Can you do the dishes?
Dad! I'm busy!
Do you want to go to the shops this Saturday?
I'm sorry, I'm busy Saturday.
Can you hang with us on Tuesday?
Can't, I'm busy.
What ya doing?
Oh, you know, busy busy, same old.

Yeah, when you think about it, you're probably busy quite a lot too.
I was always busy, too busy for an easy life and definitely too busy for lots of friends with the other teenage drama stuff that came with it. Too much drama for me, no friends was easier to maintain.
I was busy with track and field practice (my escape), busy with homework (my chance at something better, maybe) busy helping dad with my little brother, one of them anyway (my family) and busy helping out on the farm and its shop (our income).
Busy, busy, busy.
Until
One day
I realized that I was being surrounded by wolves

But that's not making sense is it?!
I should probably start at the beginning...
