Gotta post, gotta post, gotta post, gotta post, gotta post…
Sorry spellcheck, but I have to post AMAP before vacation!
Disclaimer: I just finished "Looking For Alaska" yesterday. Clearly, I'm not the amazing vlogbrother John Green. I'm not Bryke either so that clears that up… OH YEAH! Simon Bolivar is dead, so I'm not him either. Actually, I'm not even a him. So there.
"How will I ever escape this labyrinth?" ~Simon Bolivar
Korra had been meditating, an art she still needed a lot of practice on, on that quote for quite some time since hearing it.
At first it seems straight-forward. Bolivar was from the Earth Kingdom during his time long ago. He was probably talking about a real labyrinth.
But he wasn't. Bolivar was on his death bed, not a maze. So what was he talking about?
Korra decided on suffering at last. It applied to his situation, but also to everyone in general. We all have our labyrinths of suffering as loved ones and friends come and go. They last our whole lives.
That left the escape, which was actually the easy part after figuring out the labyrinth.
Straight and fast.
Korra suffered more than most. She suffered more than any person she knew. She carried the weight of the world since she was old enough to bend two elements, let alone four.
She had lost so much. Her childhood, her family, her innocence, gone. Essentially, she was empty. She knew the labyrinth like the back of her hand. There was only one escape, straight and fast.
Korra thought about it a lot, her escape. Mostly when she felt alone, like when Mako and Asami would run off together and Bolin would be who-knows-where getting neck deep in trouble and waiting for her and Mako to pull him out as per usual.
But no. She wouldn't.
"After all this time, it seems to me like straight and fast is the only way out- but I choose the labyrinth. The labyrinth blows, but I choose it."
