Quoted By:
I laid out my path a long time ago, and I march forward toward my goal. I have lost a lot of myself as I march. My intelligence has been worn down, my voice and individuality have been crushed altogether. I barely see my friends, and most of the ones I love left a long time ago. I'm tired all of the time. But I will be damned if I let it be for nothing. I will reach my goal.
The strange thing is the obstacles in my way. I always thought of them as road blocks, inanimate objects I could push aside or opponents I could best. Those went away a long time ago. Now I'm surrounded by those trying to get everything they can from me. All they see is what I have or what I can do for them, not how much it has cost me. And they can't be brought to give even half the effort themselves.
Thank God for my best friend, he keeps them away when he can. I don't know what I'd do without him. I'd be torn apart by jackals.
