Time to fly



(well obviously not literally, or else certain individuals of authority will take that as a sign of mental disorder again *cough* *cough*.)

I've talked enough, I've battled with my self enough and just like a year ago, it is time to take action yet again. 5 new short stories/poems will be added to replace the "darker" ones in the old version. Some of the original ones will also be edited( or "censored" if you want to call it that). I've already have in mind what these stories will be about, some of them are already written and some of them are going to be done shortly. The overall tone of these newer additions will obviously be a lot brighter. They will include stories about mutual understanding, kids' aspirations as well as flowers and sunshine(yes, literally).

Now, some of you might wonder whether these stories are a little bit forced. Well, I'm not gonna lie, I still prefer the overall tone of this book to be slightly darker. Since I have to change that aspect of it, these short stories should still be able to fit right in and be interesting read with great themes.

This newer edition of "imagine a world" will be just as good as the old one, and for some people, this one might be better.

Zeroing in.

I admit it, it took alot more than some determination to decide to restart what was originally a flawless charity fundraiser. I haven't teared up this much in years in light of what happened last fall and I haven't teared up this much since the incident until now. If you know me personally, you know that I am generally this happy go lucky kid. It was not the case for last October, nor last night as a matter of fact.

My parents were just as shocked as I was when the incident happened and are just as traumatized as I am now they heard my thoughts about restarting this fundraiser. Last night was hell, not only because my parents were reluctant to allow me to do this again, but I have to get over my own self doubts as well. Flashbacks about last October was really a pain, but if I were to give up my goals now, those flashbacks will haunt me for the rest of my life.

I am willing to take that risk. I am willing to try my best to continue on what seemed like a perfect marathon; for myself, for my parents and for charity. "Imagine a world' charity fundraiser will restart again, this time, stronger than ever.
