Chapter 11. "Left untold."

Wow!

Young me actually wrote for three days consecutively?! lol 

That is funny! I can't recall when the last two entries were back to back lol. 

I wonder what could have been so important?

I say this often, but I do wish that I would have written more and more often, you know?

But hey, the pages of the books that I chose to journal in were quite small lol.

Maybe I will scan the pages for you all and show you the originals lbvs.

My principle told me in 3rd grade that I had the signature of a doctor, I think that his statement was more accurate in relation to my hand writing lol.

Lort, have merbies.

I hope that this entry finds you well, yeah?

The state of the world is...shifting.

Governments and people are at odds.

Humanity is as fickle and fuddled as ever. 

Especially YOU Kid.

If you are a thing just yet...

Come give me a hug will you?

I could probably use it for one reason or another in your time line.

Back here in 2025?

Thing's are about as good as they could be for me at the moment I suppose.

Working a decent job.

Maintaining my little apartment.

Gaming with my little cat lol.

Nothing amazing I assure you. 

I won't keep you!

I will see you back here soon enough!

Enjoy!

Dear You.

Lots of rain today.

The storm didn't do much here in Milwaukee just yet, but it's still early.

I am so in love with Final Fantasy lol.

#15 to be exact.

This game is amazing.

There was no point to that, I'm just super into it.

I published a book of poetry when I was much younger.

Its called Lost and forgotten: Left untold.

If you can find a copy, enjoy it.

I only sold about 10 copy's to all the important people in my life.

I may have one for you some place.

Just ask lol.

-Dad.

I was and still am a pretty big fan if the Final Fantasy series, you know?

15 was pretty good, if not a bit convoluted.

I played Final Fantasy 7 as a kid when I was maybe 12.

I was in a foster home at the time actually, and the owners nephew had a PlayStation 1 lol.

I had never played that sort of game, and I had little idea what I was doing, but I fell madly in love with it and anything to do with it from that point on.

A few years later I would discover Final Fantasy Tactics and my world would be forever changed.

Tactics and strategy games are a key part if my life till this day lol.

-Man...that book of poetry. It was dedicated to a handful of prominent people in my life.

A couple of exe's.

A couple of friends.

A couple of family members.

If you would like to support me lbvs It is still available on Amazon lmao.

Some of those older poems may be mixed into my "Shadows before dawn." series, but I am not sure which ones, as that book was published in...2014/15 I believe.

It is funny that I had written "I published a book of poetry when I was much younger." when in fact I was only maybe 2/3 years older at that point lol.

Maybe I had imagined that my child (You) would be reading this much further in the future, and not beside the small handful of people who now see this online lol. 

-I do have a copy of that old book...it is tainted with quotes to someone else lbvs...

But it is there. I will order a new one when/if I ever have a child to pass it along to.

We will see how that turns out, wont me? lol.

As of 02/02/2025?

None that I know of lol.

See you all back here soon enough, yeah?

Be safe out there, no matter where you go and what you do.

Safe travels folks, and as always:

Stay safe.

Stay healthy.

Stay vigilant.

-Redd.
