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 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.
