Where have I been all this time? I can sense the world moving around me, but somehow it left me behind. I didn't care to see; therefore, I was effectively blind. Now that the veil is lifted, now that I'm here and I can see what's around me, I wish I could go back. Maybe if I was present before, maybe if I had paid attention when it mattered, things would be different. But they aren't different. Everything is as it is. All I can do now is try and make up for lost time.
