This particular piece is based off of a type of "relationship" I've had with someone especially important to me. It wasn't romantic, yet not one-sided or hollow; and I'm not quite sure how to define it. What I can say is that while I cannot define it, it has defined me in this particular period of my life. Everything is weird and confusing, as well as even a little misfit.

But that isn't particularly a bad thing.

Through the blinding miasma of his cigarette smoke that's jading my judgement, he burned a hole into me that's awoken a sense of values I didn't think existed. Hence the title of my piece; it is entirely interpretive. Whether it is to be taken in a destructive, harmful sense; or an awakening sense is entirely subjective and I leave it to you, and your own personal experiences to read it as such. I cannot tell you how to read my story, nor can I tell you how your story works. As such, I cannot tell you how mine works in context of your own thoughts and experiences.

Please enjoy.
