""You know everything has just changed. Part of you thinks your life is over. The other part thinks that's just something people say. You're in shock. It does feel real. Your friends are there for you. But they don't understand. You're only sure of one thing. You want to hurt the person that hurt you... Time moves on. You start a new life. Part of it's a defense mechanism. You don't want to defined by the terrible thing that happened. You don't want to be hurt anymore. You want to be someone stronger. So you "try on" different people. Until you find the right you... Then one day, your old life comes back. It turned out different than how you imagined. You friends have changed as much as you have. You wonder if that's somehow your fault. If you're the reason things feel apart. If you should have done something different. A lot of things go through your mind. You start to question what you've become. What you could have been. What some say you should have been. You worry you haven't done enough with your life. That your parents wouldn't be proud of you. You swear you're going to do better. You're going to be better. You're going to build a legacy. But sometime you don't get the chance. Sometimes you do let people down. But not always.(Nightwing Vol 3 29, 2014 by Kyle Higgins)"
