last week, i shoved aside my dilemma, and returned to a place where i used to seek solace, strength and support. for every aspect that i had missed about the place, i could justify it with another reason why i was relieved to have abandoned it. it was like one huge black hole that sucked everything that entered its premises, and you become so absorbed and lost in the world of it. the magnitude of its gravity was so overwhelming that it took me all the determination i had to defy it. i had run towards the vacuum ahead of me and lain low for months before i could pluck up the courage to revisit the past again.

only this time round, i was much more level-headed to not let myself be manipulated again.
