"I have learned good lessons in how to be hateful over all these years. But I feel myself losing myself-I feel diminished, parts of me spiraling away into the darkness, that which is good and honest and true- if you hold it away from yourself long enough, do you lose it entirely? If no one cares for you at all, do you even really exist?"
