I’ve always considered myself as a pretty good person.

Why are you broken, my child? Because, I’ve lost my way. Why are you lost, my child? Because, I feel empty inside. Why do you feel empty, my child? Because, I make so many mistakes. Why do you make mistakes, my child? I don’t know. I don’t know how to respond sometimes, so I react.…
