Withdrawal

Posted in Life at 2:28 am by malloucius

  Finally, time has come for me to withdraw from her. Thought, it’s not a total withdraw. I’ll just stay out of her, untill I’m ready to go back. Life is getting more and more complicated in each passing day. To make even a single tiny choice, is hard for me now as it might change everything set on the chess board. I did do, what I must do, this is the very least, and could be, the right thing to do.

  How long will I stay silent depend on how long everything goes. It could take days, weeks or even month. However, even this decision was taken, It never affects anything. Things will go the way they normally would. But, just a little different, it’s just me.
