Starting to wake up from a long strange trip. I am currently living in California, which has always been my dream, yet its nothing like it. In fact, it's been a nightmare that I have been trying to escape from for 8 years! Hopefully, soon all this pain, strife, isolation, and struggle will all dissipate into sweet bliss or nothingness.
