So I'm building an army. All that is required for enlistment is affliction due to emotion. I figure that pretty much includes everyone, so I'm not sure who we're going to fight. I'd say that we'd fight that which afflicts us, but if you're truly a soldier you know that you don't want to do that. You love your affliction. And you've resigned your fate to it. You know that it will take your life, or already has.

God, I'll embrace this until the end. I don't even care. I just really like hurting. Ridiculous.

I've really enjoyed finding companionship because of this. No one feels exactly like I do, but we all have some in common. I love connecting to that. There is so much beauty in all our pains. It thrills me.
