Intro

a collection of accounts
about us, by us
for your eyes only

Project started April 16, 2018

Dear friend,

I don't think I can stress enough how important this piece is to everyone involved with it. It is a valuable thing that holds secrets that no one except us should know. We originally wanted to have it as a keepsake for us, a memorial of our pasts, but over time, we all slowly began to change our minds and finally decided to make this collection of accounts to have you read. We decided to make this so that you can know these things that we should be keeping to ourselves. We've all wholeheartedly agreed; you deserve to know about us. It's about time we finally take the opportunity to tell you our stories in full truth.

All of us are just like you, but even so, we all still have our differences. We each have one thing unique to us, a certain defining factor that makes us all who we are, and you are sure to be aware of that by now. For us, it's time, beauty, hope, music, love, and our connection to the universe that makes us all truly us, and over the years we've been together, it's become crystal clear to us how each of these things together helped make us as close as we are to each other today. That's why we're writing this, to show you how we came to be and how we grew as individuals and together as a group on a more personal level.

The first few sections are a little shaky since I had to get used to this writing style. Suddenly shifting from writing lyrics and concepts to writing stories based around one-on-one interviews and limited information brought a good deal of difficulty to me. Through this persisting difficulty, though, making this allowed me to step out of my comfort zone a little and experiment with my skills. As I got more comfortable and more confident with myself, I improved, so my words became less jumbled and more clear as the story progressed. I promise once you get through the first sections, the rest will be both more enjoyable and somewhat easier to comprehend. After all, this is merely just a bunch of paper. I can't do much to fix the parts that are on the more messy side.

If I go on any longer here, I have a feeling I'm going to end up accidentally writing things that'll spoil what's ahead. This here is nothing but a small ramble to get things started for you. Please take the time to enjoy this, but please also remember that all of these were serious matters for every single one of us. These experiences had long-lasting effects on us, and because of this, some of us found it extremely difficult to bring ourselves to remember the past. We are all glad that we've finally gained the confidence to put this together for you, no matter if you end up reading it or not, and we hope that you do end up keeping this knowledge to yourself. You must not let this information slip out of your hands to anyone else. We all trust that you will do your very best to keep it in.

For now, friend, I bid you farewell. See you at the end.
