I wish nothing but the best for you.

This life thing? It’s never easy, in fact it’s down-right hard to deal with, but what other choice do we have? A really good friend told me once:

"You have to find the strength to stay together, even if you go break down in the bathroom, you’ll have to pull yourself back together afterwards. No one gets dealt an easy hand at life, you can only play with what you are given. Most people spend their lives bluffing their way through the game, through life, the only thing you have to think about is if you’re going to fold. And if you fold, you’re better off going to play a different game. "

As long as you know the truth about yourself, then you’ll go far. If you believe the hateful things that other people say about you, you’ll get dragged in and fall into the same demented fantasy world of lies that they live in. I let it get to me once, and all that I got out of it was a headache and some bruised knuckles.

Things between us did not end well, it’s true, but that doesn’t mean the whole thing was a lie or that we weren’t happy at one point. But if that’s what helps you get over the situation, believing that I’m some psychotic head-case, then shoot for the moon kid. I feel sorry for you. I have no anger or bitterness towards you, nor do I regret the time we had together. I hate to say it; but I told you so.

The days are flying by, and every day that passes brings me closer and closer to my new future. I figure that after everything I have gone through in my last two years flying solo in Keene, nothing that Maine can throw at me will be anywhere close to as difficult.
