A shattered mind in a broken body fighting for survival

C'est La Vie

Two months on my own and in a brand new place. It's weird being an adult. Making decisions and taking risks with real consequences. Before reaching a more enlightened level of maturity, I wished to go back to the simplicity of childhood. But now I realize that I can't even contemplate returning to my former self. If I was given a time machine, I would use it as an extra chair in the event that guests arrived and needed a place to sit. For that is the best use I could find for such a thing. I have come to understand that the present is for living and not for wishing to be somewhere (or someone) else.
