You may have been hurt or affected in some way by these and I am not above apologizing but I will not be held down by them. I am not defined by my times of weakness and I will not hold them against myself for the rest of my life. I have chosen to learn from them and better myself as to prevent them in the future. This is as life should be. A constant never ending learning experience. And though it may hurt at times, know that I am in pain just as well. This is a battle of self improvement and, as with all battles, there are casualties. There is poetry in life and also lessons in life. This work is a chimera of both.
