The world is a strange place, an orb spinning in space, almost as if it were suspended independently. People revolve around each other, believing the same premise. Since we've had to rebuild it, it's become a better place. We learned to rebuild each other, sincerely caring for and relying on everyone else to survive.

I can remember the days just before the world disintegrated before my eyes. The menial tasks I employed myself with and the meaningless ego-centrism that enveloped me. I didn't care about others back then, only myself and those immediately around me. I remember the day my world stopped spinning, the day I lost myself and that egotistic girl I once was. That's all changed now. I am still selfish I suppose, I want so much more for our world.

I was thrown on a road I didn't plan. A path that I fought with everything within me. Before the invasion and the devastation that followed, my life was very different. Looking back, I'm glad of where the journey ended. Even with all the pain, I'm happy now. As I write these words I look forward knowing that I'm not in control and I don't have to be.
