“How shameful and absurd it is for the spirit to surrender when the body is able to fight on.” ~ Marcus Aurelius, Roman Emperor His words resonate through me tonight, like many nights before…I am borrowing the Emperor’s words tonight to express how I feel. I feel like my soul was murdered a long time ago. My body is here – as ****** up as it is – my heart still beats – but my body is empty, void of a soul. I have no fight left in me now. My heart is still beating...but I'm no longer here.
