I went to public parks and people told me to get away and that I was insane. My friends told me to "get help" . I could not find anyone to listen. Then I found myself here. I am here to find someone thatI can bring back with me to that place so that I can be restored for I am cast down into that pit again. My crown is gone. Is there someone on this board that will make that journey with me so that I can be restored? Is there anyone reading this that has an ear to hear?

I have found myself here and if no one will go with me back to that place, then I will go to another place to find someone that will go with me. If I had played by the rules, then my crown would not have been taken away from me. I am fallen because of my own actions. You see, there are gates that lead to death, as Cam stated. You open them on your own. I opened one of those gates and my crown is not with me now. Earnest Hemmingway openened one of those gates to death. He was a drunkard. That will open the gates to death. But I can be renewed if I can get others to go on the Road That Leads to the Crown of Life.
