Now, I don’t really talk about anything serious on this blog. I talk about seriously nerdy stuff, but I never talk about serious topics<\/i>. Today, I thought I’d make a little exception–I hope you all don’t mind if I get a little personal, and a little serious.<\/p>\n

Some time ago, I suffered a great loss. No one died, but it was a great blow to my morale… and in a way, my innocence died. I realized how fragile happiness can be. I found myself lacking motivation. I was anxious and listless at work. In short, my heart was broken. Over time, I healed–the loss faded from the forefront of my mind. I moved on, but I never truly forgot.<\/p>\n

But recently–as I suspect you all know by now–something amazing happened. Something big<\/i>. This didn’t just affect me, but the whole world<\/i>. A move that gave me a reason to hope, to dream… to live<\/i> again. The loss that I had suffered, was now erased, and replaced by something more stable. Something beautiful, and inspiring.<\/p>\n
