I am dedicated to the Lord Jesus Christ, Who brought me out of the darkness and into His light, and Who is the example of someone who wasn't afraid to hang out with society's "undesirables" in order to show them The Way, The Truth, and The Life.

last night, i got the chance to listen once more to Evanescence's My Immortal. i was busy listening to their Open Doors album that has Lithium on it, i nearly forgot this album. i randomly selected a song, then it happened to be My Immortal [the version that is just the piano playing], when the 1st two lines got my attention, "i'm so tired of being here, suppressed by all my childish fears...". i said, "what is childish fears?". i looked back at my life, i saw my childhood as not that good. i have a deep history of pain and sorrow and regrets. my family, relatives and friends were a tragedy. my relationships with women (past girlfriends that is), made me think again and again about my worth. not that i am not worthy of them but why can't they accept me as i am? they're trying to change the man that i am. why? i don't know. maybe i am failure in their eyes. but, i won't change just because they want me to, i will change because i needed to. and if they can't accept me as who i am, then sorry, i will not do that to please you. but i have to admit that it hurts and makes me ask questions about myself. if only they have seen the good side of me, maybe, just maybe, things might have had a different direction.
