Do you ever stop to wonder, just why we do this to ourselves? The ocean may hide our sorrow, but we can't be freed from our self dilusions. We walk in front of our brothers, our sisters, just so we can feel accomplished. Our dreamcatchers are merely charms to give us courage at night. Have you ever wondered why? No, of course not. I'm crazy for wondering, aren't I? Just open your eyes, then you'll understand my mind and thoughts.

To stare my mortality dead in the eyes, and let the lingering stare sit, I wanted to simmer the feeling of weakness, of every single type of emotion, completely digest it, and let it manifest genuinely, reading it, again and again, perfecting it, again and again, until the feeling of pain subsides. I there is anything that I want you to take from this book, is time. Yes, just a word, time. It goes by, so have not regrets, and never leave something from saying. If you are looking for a sign to remind you, to tell you parents, brothers, sisters, daughters, grandparents, wives, friends you love them? This is it...
