In Utero.

There are times you've got to ask yourself if it's your own life you're trying to save, or start over.
I've been here before. These markings look familiar, they've just slightly aged. As have I.
This time around I'm able to recognize the signs of the impending storm around me, and find shelter from the rains.

As my 23rd birthday passes I've realized I've got all that I could ask for. And while the road to get here may have been long and spiraling at times, it took the journey to prepare me for what's next. A child won't be easy to raise in this decaying world, but we're ready. This is what we've worked so hard for- and in the end, family is all you really have.
I know that now, after trying it all and being left rather unimpressed.
