If you are reading this, before you go any further, I want to make sure you are aware of the intention I had in writing the journal entry. In now way am I trying to be Emo, navel-gaze, or inviting anyone to a pity party. This is merely something I've had on my mind off and on for quite some time and, as is my writerly nature, this is my attempt to do a purge in the only way I'm superficially capable. I am not looking for hugs, commiseration, or attention. The entry is simply what most of my other entries have always been on the Cliffs - one of many entries I've made over the years. That said, I'm cutting the rest of it out of courtesy to anyone who does not want to read further. No harm, no foul.
( Cut for a massive blob of needy bullshit. )
