I have never been so tempted to hurt myself. That is the only way I can make them feel what I'm feeling. Show them how I'm feeling. To make them understand how I feel. That is the only way how I can express that.
     Home. The one place in the world that you can come back to anytime without being judged. Home. A place of comfort. If i am being judged by my family and want to hurt myself because of my family, then is that place really my home? or is it just a house that i live in. 
     School. A noun. It's an institution for education children. Well, that's what Merriam Webster defines. To me school has become hell. But it's funny how when your're at home, you want to flee to school. And when you're at school, you want to flee back home
     Funny how people can change what means to you the most and ruin that. How they can ruin specific  words, where everything you hear those words you think of them. How they can ruin special places like your home, school, favorite coffeehouse. How they can ruin your favorite song.
     Funny how easy it is to hurt someone. You don't even have to touch them, the damage is in your words.

Geoff and Naomi are dead, and they're depressed, but when Geoff's cat Bernie dies as well, they embark on a wild journey to find it in the underworld. ***** When Geoff dies, alongside his girlfriend Naomi, they end up sharing an apartment in the Underworld as skeletons. But after a few years, Geoff starts suffering a mid-death crisis. What's the purpose of going through the motions as a skeleton if you can't really live? Then he gets word that his cat, Bernie, just died and he can collect him and bring him home! Geoff and Naomi hurry to get Bernie only to discover that, due to a clerical error, their cat has been lost. With the hunt for Bernie giving new purpose to Geoff's un-life, he and Naomi begin a quest to get back their cat. Battling skeleton pirates, climbing the sky ladder and facing off against the villain who took Bernie, Geoff is determined to find his purpose - or die a second time trying!
