un: anonymous

[ There are some times that Poe is thankful for his powers. This, being able to ask his communicator to scramble his ID so that he can post anonymously, is one of them. He doesn't do this often. But something has been bothering him more and more, lately. ]

has there ever been something, or a multiple somethings, that you did that at the time you knew was right, and just, but then later - maybe after coming here - now makes it a little harder to sleep at night?

a lot of us come from places where we had to do a lot of shit we wish we didn't

but we could still tell ourselves we were doing the right thing

and i still think i was doing the right thing

but here i meet ghosts and i can't help but wonder if there wasn't another way

how do you deal with it, when you can't justify everything to yourself anymore? and that's not a rhetorical question, i honestly want to know




do you think earth has made you a better or a worse person

It is. I am glad for the presence of family, though I do not pretend that I might have them forever here, nor they will have me. For this reason, we seek new family here as well. When we find them, we will welcome them.

My brother saw me as an ideal figure he never met in life. I necessarily disappointed him. But I should think we have both learned something of expectations here.

i keep making them and losing them and honestly i don't know how much longer i can do that

i never had any siblings so i can't say i get it, exactly

but i know how it feels to meet a legend and find a man instead

It is a familiar experience for me. Many I have met and embraced as kin have met their ends. The beauty of their existence and the promise of seeing them when I join them in the Void is my solace. Though I understand the uncertainty this place brings to that finality, I think what death teaches cannot be discarded here.

Legends are captivatingly simple things. As much as I love to tell them, it is comforting on some level to learn that they are more complicated beings. We can fail, and yet achieve something in our time.
