How did you solve it?
Well, after looking up the words and realizing that it makes no sense, I started to think of other codes that I know when it hit me:
The periods were spaces, and the length of the words meant something. Then I did some more thinking on codes that I used to make when I was younger and tested a theory (Which proved successful as you can tell)
Each word was chosen for its character length, the amount of characters in each word (Example: Abandon is 7) can be assigned to the number in line a letter is in the alphabet (Example: Abandon is 7, and the 7th letter in the alphabet is G).
