this is the turning point, the bitter part of the story that leads to bloodshed and ever-lasting gloom.

my mind is contaminated with the diseases of negative thoughts people have inserted into my head but it is time to renew my spirit and prove my worth. from myself i will draw motivation and heal.

this is my time. this is my ship and i am in full control. with the closing of the year comes the similar state of my heart that will continue to eliminate anything in my path.

— if i am determined as i know i am, what's pulling my potential to a halt? why stop here when i have not strived my best?
