The light in my life is about to go out.

The fact that this sentence has been posted means that my time has finally come. I am no longer in this world (this last post was sent by someone special to me).

My life is a series of battles, and we keep winning. I’ve caused a lot of trouble. I stick to my beliefs, and I take responsibility for them. No regrets. I just feel very sorry to all my fans for not being able to present my new work. Excuse me. This is how it is. That’s how life goes.
