It is in these dark passages I scribe my darkest regrets. I find the record of them equally troubling and pleasing. It is through the lens of my characters that I find peace within myself. Is that selfish of me—to create worlds and therefore flood them with problems so that I may find my own resolve? I can see so.
And still, I love each of my creations—for the act of creating is why I myself was created. Until the end I shall do as I've done, and I see those for and against. I am not blind to the issues within my worlds I create. It is for them I give them adversity to overcome. To grow, become better, and to someday surpass me.
The ultimate goal, I guess, is to create that which will destroy me entirely. And if I weren't cogent to that end I would not write another word.
To those who will inevitably make their mark, stand tall.
