---

How do you define good and evil, especially when it comes to choice? Can a choice that you know is the right choice for you be wrong for those around you? Does a choice undo or negate what co...

A lot of changes either recently happening or about to happen. This is just....a reminder to myself more than anything before heading to bed. I've been meaning to do this for a week or more, bu...
