About offthechainjoe

I live in the US outside of Philadelphia

I'm going to be in 11th grade soon and hopefully have my license/car by then

I used to be a pretty quiet/shy kid, but that was before I switched schools. Now I feel like I've been able to come out of my shell more and I'm a little more outgoing and have better self-esteem.

I've had a lot of issues in the passed dealing with depression, suicide, abuse, family counseling.... Sometimes I just want to disappear.

Writing is like a sanctuary for me. It lets me escape the frustrating cycle of life I find myself in too often and lets me be God for once.



Did you ever hear the Tragedy of Darth Plagueis the wise? I thought not. It's not a story the Jedi would tell you. It's a Sith legend. Darth Plagueis was a Dark Lord of the Sith, so powerful and so wise he could use the Force to influence the midichlorians to create life... He had such a knowledge of the dark side that he could even keep the ones he cared about from dying. The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural. He became so powerful... the only thing he was afraid of was losing his power, which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught his apprentice everything he knew, then his apprentice killed him in his sleep. It's ironic he could save others from death, but not himself.
