I wouldn't have known too well what I wanted to write about, and for how long will it take me to finish it. I wrote this amateurish story I guess just to test myself. After a while in writing this, I've had quite numerous realizations—that I'm not actually fit in committing myself into this, that I lack experience, and that I'm simply inadequate, and a phony (you might say), that I am impatient and anxious, and worry too much in displeasing others. Yet, that didn't deter me though, because I finished it... and I'm proud I did. It's much to say, I am truly indebted to the people who supported me throughout this journey, those who read the earlier excerpts, manuscripts— those who encouraged me to push through, you have my grandest gratitude. Anyhow, this story is about lost innocence. That's all there is to it.
