These actions are not born of anger or emotion &ndash; we are perfectly sober. It&rsquo;s rather inexplicable. When the time comes, we can&rsquo;t stop ourselves and so we cannot blame ourselves.&rdquo; -Umasi, Truancy

When it hurts to look back, and your scared to look forward, just look beside you and your best friend will be there.
