It's been such a long time, it hurts. It hurt to pretend, to go back to a life before all this, it hurts to be silent and to experience all of these other worlds and time without others to share it with. I think questions will keep coming and the answers will still be sought after. But the worst thing I could have done (and ended up doing) was to stop searching. I crave the company of others like me, and although the love of my friends and family matter deeply to me, I forgot that I have another family, here.
