There comes a time in everyone’s life in which they have to make a decision.
We have the amazing ability to make choices, and we all have a purpose.
I think as I write this, this will be the hardest thing I will ever write. My life isn’t special in any certain cases. Im just a normal, near healthy human being who is trying to handle life like any other sane person would. I have walked through hell and back, but that doesn’t make me special at all, others have made the same journey. I’ve been in hell too many times to count. Here is a quote that a friend said to me, “When you’re going through hell, keep on going because you might get out before the Devil even knows your there.” Those words rang in my head for days. I did not know why those words affected me so much, but they did. And for days after I pondered their meaning, until one day, it hit me. I’ve been going through hell for the last 21 years of my life. Now im not saying that every bit of it was oh so horrible. Oh no, there were its moments, days, weeks, and so on. But finally it snapped in my head, when I left Brentwood some years ago I was a different person, and after another few years I came back. I was a changed person. People change, for better or for worse, and I still think I’m changing. Now, Im stuck at this wall, and I cant get passed it. I have hurt so many people, I hurt the one who I was most comfortable with, and I hurt my best friend, and whoever is reading this, ask yourself this very serious question…have I hurt you? I probably have. Im going to say this, because I have no other way of saying this. But, Im leaving. Im leaving Brentwood, and Im leaving out of state. I will be leaving on a cross country trip. But like before, Im coming back. I don’t know how long I’ll be gone, or where exactly I will be going, but I have a golden opportunity here, and Im not going to miss it. I plan on doing so much, opening a comic book shop, writing, acting. So much! But it is time that this bird leaves the nest. Again. I just want you all to know, that I won’t be changing my number, and I’ll be keeping myspace. Im not getting rid of you completely. I expect to be leaving within the next few months, maximum month would probably my November, maybe even September. I also want you to know, that Im not running away, Im just spreading my wings. I want to fly, just like in my dreams. I want to be free, and I think Im doing the right thing. And to some of you, this is probably a shock. Well, join the club. As of now, all of you know this. I haven’t told anybody at all.
In the meantime for income, I have a plan. Don’t worry about me at all. And as for the heart, we will see how that goes. It probably just needs to relax, and enjoy this nice long…breather. Im sorry about this short notice, but this is all the time I have. You all can call me, email me, anything at anytime. So, these next few months, are going to be the best months, I will ever spend with you all. Let’s make them count.
Yours truly,
Anthony Phillip Cooper
