I like that this starts out dark and raw (permanent burns all over my face, don't play with fire, i realized i couldn't take the heat) but slowly it gets lighter as your burns start to heal.

As you know, my favorite line: Just b/c it burns doesn't mean you're gonna die...I didn't burst into tears, I didn't die, and the world didn't explode LOL
