Many of you seem to be unhappy.

We don't all necessarily want you to be happy, but acceptance and adaptation to your situation would be a start. The only question that remains is: how?

It is clear to us that your species resolves many issues through communication. Unfortunately, none of us understand the human psyche as clearly as others of your species, and so I leave it to you to communicate with and to help one another.

You may consider this post an open forum in which you can discuss what's been bothering you. In turn, I will conceal your identities, so that you may help one another without preconceived biases. If you'd like to reveal yourselves to one another, the option is there, but unnecessary.

Heal. Recover.

I'll leave you to it.

dearheart, I had to die many times to get to where I am today. can you not think of it as a rebirth?

here you are, stronger and more splendid than ever. the gods are certainly an inconvenience, but why let them spoil this for you?

Things like me are meant to remain dead.

[anon]

[wormintheglass]

meant by who, what exactly?

and what do you mean by things?

[anon; cw; suicidal thoughts]

[mismanagement]

The universal order of things, I suppose.

I mean what you imagine. There is no changing what I did or what I am. If I am alive then I ought to be useful. Otherwise there is no point.

I once attempted to manipulate the universal order of things. I failed, but I still believe it badly needs proper supervision at best, or, more likely, doesn't exist.

what did you do that you feel warrants putting out one of the fragile, precious lights in a cold, uncaring universe?

[anon]

[mismanagement]

Perhaps. I wouldn't know such things.

[It's not her place.]

It's simple. I did as I was told. I hurt those I was meant to protect. Nothing will ever change that.

darling, dear heart, we have all failed. we've all hurt people.

at least I have. often enough on purpose.

allowing the cold dark to take you alleviates none of that hurt. it makes nothing better.

[anon]

[mismanagement]

How can you say that so certainly?

Re: [anon]

[wormintheglass]

because nothing is ever made better by people being gone.

and yet, the very worst of us can still love and be loved.

I

will consider what you have said.
