?I remember when the only thing I was worried about was being late for class and turning in assignments. Those were the days that the feeling of guilt and hurt didn’t constantly fill my chest, and I was almost happy. Almost. But now I feel the pressure of the world weighing down on me, and I have no one to turn to, no one to help me carry this burden. I gave up my life for this crap and I can’t get myself out of the dark hole that is swallowing my very existence. But do you want to know something? I wouldn’t have traded my decision for the world. You would think that losing your friends would turn off the lights flickering inside of you, but instead it just made mine brighter. I learned what it was like to be loved and to feel real worry. I know that the pain building up in my chest is just a remnant of the people I have met and the things I have done, but it still hurts. And despite not having these wonderful people in my life anymore, because of them, I understand the meaning of sacrifice. Though my heart bleeds for their company, I know that all I will get is emptiness; an emptiness in which their presence previously filled. But now, I believe I finally found the exit to the maze I have been wandering in all my life.
