Why is it that I enjoy words of pain, sorrow, and fear? Why do I surround myself with the things I am trying to escape? I tell myself not to continue, that if I surround myself with beauty and hope these things will come to me. And yet I continue. Maybe if I see the most horrific then the bad won't seem all that bad in comparison.
