genesis (noun) [ gen·e·sis ] • the origin or coming into being of something. --- "You're the reason I stayed, Colby." You said, tears in the brim of your eyes. "I didn't know what to do with my life. I was stuck, doing nothing and not enjoying it while I could. You showed me how to have fun, taught me how to be careful while doing it, and even kept me safe when I was still getting used to everything." You said, holding back a sob desperately. "You were my Genesis, Colby."
