Prologue

 

So, I’m not really great with introductions. But this is basically a story that I’ve been meaning to write for a while now without really knowing why or what I would really want out of it.

Anyhow, I am Paul. I am a normal guy, “street smart”, pop culture-savvy, music enthusiast, creative, and always curious. My curiosity would almost always get me into trouble. I also usually have a lot of thoughts in my head which makes me an overthinker.

However, my ultimate dreams are simple. To be able to build a home, nothing grand, just something that I could be comfortable with. To save enough for when I grow old, so that I could finally break free from the corporate world which has held me hostage for the longest amount of time. To be able to just sleep sound and not having to worry about the alarm going off.

These thoughts have been running through my mind since I was a little boy. Yes, my curiosity already knew about those things even when I was young. I would often sneak out at night, go to the local park in our village, and look up into the night sky with all the stars shining so bright, hoping that somewhere out there is that person who I could share my dreams with.

This brings us to the most recent events that shook me to the core—because I really thought (I still think) that I already found that person. My Neo. “The One”.
