I am sure you&#8217;ll see what I mean about feeling it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This song sums up what I feel when I am approaching the point of no return. At that moment when I am about to break. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What is scarier than that moment, is the time I spend beyond the point of no return. Over that edge&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I become completely <em>U N H I N G E D<\/em>! I go to some other place and time. It&#8217;s impossible for reality to matter when there are so many bigger things to worry about. When reality is no more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But then I come back. And then, I have to deal with everything that happened while I was gone. I have to try and find a way to go back to reality. I have to learn to live a normal life again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s a repetitive cycle that I am cursed to endure repetitively for the rest of my life. And yes, there are times when I want off this wild ride. I just want to quit. Sometimes, it&#8217;s so hard NOT to just give up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Are you getting the idea of what I am going to be writing about? It&#8217;s only just a little taste of what&#8217;s to come in the book. This is only scratching the surface of what&#8217;s to come. Stick around. Come back soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thanks for stopping by! Take care!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sincerely, R.
