Aphmau gave me the inspiration for this when she talked with garroth in S2 ep 84 (i think?)
Inspiration for Life
(I.D.E.K. who will see this, but this is for whoever reads. This is for the broken, incomplete, mourning people. This is for YOU and you alone. I wish I could know the readers of this personally, if I don't already, and I wish I could say this to their face. In person. but this will have to do.)
Hello, goodbye. Then, now. Here, there. How, why. When?
Some people wonder the point of life. HECK, I think everyone at some point questions it, whether they have a religion, or expectation they must live up to or not. But, you know, I think that the point of life? IS life. The point of living, aside from any mission or plan someone might have, the POINT is to live! To explore EVERY option and possibility! To dream every dream possible! To DO what YOU want to do! And yes, life can be crappy at times. For some, it's beyond livable. AND THAT IS TRUE! Life is TERRIBLE.
and life is GREAT.
life is FUN.
life is BORING.
life is HARD,
life is EASY.
life is LONG
life is SHORT
But overall, that IS life! Life has the bad AND the good! because that's what life is! Life is OPTIONS! life is CHOICE! Life is variety! Life is just... LIFE!
but sometimes...
you may feel like you're
Sad angry helpless empty disappointed alone hopeless
That's Okay.
That is okay to Feel.
that is part of life too.
maybe it's a big part of your life, and that's okay.
but when it becomes your WHOLE life, then it's not living.
When you only experience one option, one feeling, one situation.
It's no longer life.
Now, for example, maybe you feel like you're alone at school, and can never make friends.
And for things like that, I have a saying,
"Half is true, and half is you." - My father, Me
half is true:
you are alone at school
half is you:
you can never make friends. You are not ALWAYS alone at school
NEVER is it ALL true.
only in your head, it is.
To some, these are just empty words spoken again, and again, and again, and again, and again...
Sometimes, reader, words are all we have.
Words are one of the ONLY carriers for our feelings.
Words ARE our feelings, put in a form where we give them.
Each word counts.
EVERY.
LAST.
ONE.
All those incomplete stutters, all those broken sentences, all those a's, an's, the's, we utter. Each one is important! There are angry words, pained words, choked words, whispered words, shouted words, silent words. Yes, these are JUST words. But they can be MORE.
.they can be more.
Just like you!
you CAN be more! you are ALIVE! And life is shaped by the experiences you have! Do you want the life I'm talking about? I do. I want to live, even when I am sad. Even when I am angry. Even when I am jealous. Even when I am mistreated, judged, bullied, outcasted.
Even then.
I want the life I speak of.
I hope you do too. I want you to. I want every single person I have EVER KNOWN to LIVE.
not just wake up, and breath.
I want them to LIVE LIFE!
They don't have to live crazy! Live dangerously! Live cautiously! They can live wildly, or timidly, shy or confident, bland or fancy. I want to love every person who I've ever seen. If they are loved, or if they are not. No matter what race, what color, what country, what religion, what gender, what size, what age, It doesn't matter because of one FACT.
We are all humans on this small, little planet earth.
That is what I think, what I believe, and what I want for people.
What do YOU want?
What is it that you need?
