I haven&#8217;t yet truly figured out what I think of them. I&#8217;m having to re-evaluate a lot of what I thought I knew. It&#8217;s kind of scary to discover that you don&#8217;t really understand the world, I&#8217;ll admit. But, you know, I think I like this world better than the one I thought I lived in.<\/p>\n<p>With that said, allow me to post my apologies to any of my friends who might be reading this who I might have a very good reason to apologize to. I recognize that my actions of the last few weeks have been.. well, not always well-considered. I hope that in the future I&#8217;ll be less difficult to have as a friend, and I would like to think that I won&#8217;t lose any of your friendship over this.<\/p>\n<p>As for the other parts, well, maybe they&#8217;re already lost. In perspective, that&#8217;s all right. If they&#8217;re supposed to be there, they&#8217;ll come back.
