View all 325 ReflectionsEverything from 26 years ago seems like a lifetime sometimes... Everything but you. This shitty day seems to come up quicker and quicker. My head still gets numb and dizzy when I think about it. There is one comfort though; knowing these feelings of emptiness, pain and being lost will be outlasted by your legend and its legacy. - "Si Monumentum Requiris Circumspice"
