[ He's thankful that one of the things BB-8 gave him before he was taken away again was an encrypted anonymous lock on his comm. It's not even that this is something he particularly wants to be anonymous for so much as it just... makes things a little easier to talk about. ]

this month, two of my best friends here had their one year wedding anniversary
living with their adopted son
a family that only could have existed on this planet


sometimes it's hard to see the little victories for what they are
more important than anything else


so tell me what keeps you going here

what are the things that this place gives you that you never would have gotten a chance for at home

the people that keep you getting up in the morning





we're all in this together and sometimes it takes a lot to remember that

it matters

because i've been in exactly the same place as you are
trust me it gets old fast

there's only so long we can pretend to be untouchable islands



okay, so, it sucks
what are you doing about it

[hordinglife]

no one said that. you like to jump to conclusions all over the place here.

i know what matters and this place isn't it. i'm just here until i'm not.

[flightforfreedom]

so the people here don’t matter and the place doesn’t matter

that what i’m understanding?

what does, then

[hordinglife]

home matters. this place doesn't.

we don't even remember what happens here when we go back, right? what a waste of time.

everything here, none of it means anything for us in the end.

[flightforfreedom]

well i mean

if you're gonna go by that logic

what does life ever really matter if you die in the end anyway

[hordinglife]

because dying for the people that matter to you is worth it.

dying for people who won't even remember you after the next model shows up to replace you isn't like dying. it's never existing in the first place.
