While i was at sea i kept a diary. It was pretty vague. i kept it all these years just to remind myself that even though my experience was mostly clouded with the fact that i had no food and water. that sometimes i just wished to relinquish my strength and give up, I never did i kept on going for me and Richard Parker and he did for me. But now i think i should renew my diary to refreshen all my memories and maybe one day after I'm gone i'll have it be shared. But the main reason is to honor Richard Parker, the life boat, the island, the sea, all of us. Goodbye is unspoken of.
