We had a power outage for most of the day. After the sun went down, I slept, took a shower by candlelight, and played piano until the lights came back on. It was an experience.
In other news, I think it's time that I started to grow up. It won't be long before I'll have to leave the sheltered mindset that has grown so comfortable, and I know what I have to do. There is a place that I have to go, and in order to survive in that society, I have to change.
Does this mean you're leaving me behind?
No. It means that I'm going to become strong enough so that I don't have to.
Wouldn't it be easier if you just left here me to die?
How would that be easier?
Well, it seems like what most people would do. Nobody wants to carry a dead weight.
I wouldn't leave behind the very thing that I want to protect the most.
