Third ☂ Text

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.

As opposed to?

[anon]

[somuchlove]

Anything else.

Luck has not be favoring me lately, but that is not unique. And Hadriel itself seems to have a secret God of Bad Luck anyway.

[anon]

[skelebro]

Maybe it's fate.

Or Karma. I'm pretty sure I deserve most of this anyway.

[anon]

[somuchlove]

Karma, more than likely. I have done enough to deserve it.

Which is why I'm not sure if it is better I am here or back home.

What about yourself?

[anon]

[skelebro]

Might as well stay here.

Not much of a life to go back to.

[anon]

[somuchlove]

That seems to be a popular option for some.

Things did not end well for you?

[anon]

[skelebro]

Not really.

Though looking back, maybe it was for the best.

[anon]

[somuchlove]

I may be in the same boat. A shame it did not happen sooner for me.

Why do you believe that?

[anon]

[skelebro]

Didn't exactly have all the context at the time.

[anon]

[somuchlove]

And if there was such a thing as a do-over, would you take it?

[anon]

[skelebro]

[...

That's funny.]

Pretty sure I'd waste the chance.

[anon]

[somuchlove]

You and me both.

But I suppose that is why wishes are useless. It's obvious how they would turn out.

[anon]

[skelebro]

Never did put much stock in wishes back home.

[anon]

[somuchlove]

I hate them.

You put hope in them and it turns out to be nothing. You wish for things to get better and nothing does.

[anon]

[skelebro]

Wishing doesn't seem to get much done, no.

A shame.

It'd be nice if it did.

[anon]

[somuchlove]

It won't even then.

I've seen what happens when you make wishes. It never ends well.

[anon]

[skelebro]

How do you mean?

[anon/cw for suicidal idealization]

[somuchlove]

It ties into hope.

You put everything you have in a single wish. A wish to be free. For things to stop hurting. You put all of that into a wish and then it explodes on you.

Shrapnel hurts more than you'd think. It can kill someone.

[anon]

[skelebro]

It'd be nice if I didn't understand a word of that.

Though for what little it's worth, it'd be nice if you didn't feel that way either.




But wishes are pretty stupid.

[anon]

[somuchlove]

Who knows? miracles could still happen. But I would not worry to much about seeing me alive.

But yes, wishes will remain stupid. They are in too many books as well.

[anon]

[skelebro]

Read books about stars instead. They're way better.

[anon]

[somuchlove]

They are rather pretty. The pictures I mean.

We can't really see them right now.

[anon]

[skelebro]

Maybe Tranquility will give us another fake sky.

[anon]

[somuchlove]

It would be a good distraction, I suppose. Better than thinking about the next event coming to kill us.

[anon]

[skelebro]

The last one was pretty nice.

So I'm guessing the next one won't be.
