&ldquo;I wanted to write about the moment when your addictions no longer hide the truth from you. When your whole life breaks down. That&#039;s the moment when you have to somehow choose what your life is going to be about.&rdquo;<br /> Chuck Palahniuk

It's amazing how,
For me,
Nothing really ever happens in that moment,
the moment before midnight.
-
It's almost scary how,
For me,
Staring at that empty ceiling I've seen so much of,
I can't find a flaw in life.
-
It's nearly magic how,
For me,
The end and the beginning are so much the same,
and I can't feel a change.
-
I find it funny how,
For me,
It's so wonderful for simply nothing to happen,
At the end of the day.
