Years ago before this god forbidden world took shape.

I lived a HAPPY life.

Well at least happy enough.

I had a stable job, fresh outta collage.

A girlfriend

An apartment

A constant smile

A place

A meaning.

It was joyous living.

We used to have work get togethers.

Nothing fancy or anything, just a couple of us who were close.

I was so HAPPY then.

Being outdoors and with people.

I felt comfortable with them.

But not anymore.
