Hell, they said the world's damned, look at what happened with the Purge? Hundred's of innocent people subjugated to pain and death all because they were at the wrong place at the wrong time, me being one of them of course, with five of the most amazing people I'd ever met.
Oh, I can't even count the number of time's we were ambushed, how many time's we were hurt and close to dying, the atrocities I witnessed being committed by both Human and Creature. I can't count the number of time's I've had to watch the image of Mom falling over and over again..
And after my plight? Well, thing's didn't get much better. I mean, I find out my Father died. And even having saved Cocoon we were still treated like outcasts, but I guess that's better than being hunted down like wild animals.
But it wasn't all bad, like I said earlier I met some damned amazing people. Lightning and her harsh but at the same time secretly caring leadership, Sazh and Snow, with their well, let's just say unique personalities. And Vanille, Fang. Even though even all these year's after it still pain's me to think of their sacrifice they made for us.
After losing everyone I had, Lightning, and Serah took me in. But even then I didn't feel like I had a friend, didn't feel like I had a family. And I did some pretty stupid things to myself over that...
Depression, it hurt's a lot, feeling like no one loves you when they really do.
Depression, feeling like the world's falling apart around you when it really isn't.
Depression, seeing all the worst of thing's, refusing to see the good or great.
But you realize something, there're great things all around. People can be cruel, they can hate and the can be mean self-important Bastards. But even then you can see light.
When you see a couple, happily married or together you see a miracle and a great gift bestowed on us, the power to love.
When you see a Doctor, helping a paitent in disaster zones even though he's not making any money from it, you see a miracle and a great gift bestowed on us, the power to care.
When you see someone sacrifice themselves, for someone they love. You see a miracle and a great gift bestowed on us, the power to be selfless.
When you see someone graduate College, you see yet another miracle, the power to gain knowledge.
And that's just a few.
And when I see these things, I know everything's gonna be okay. I know for every dark crevice of degeneracy and depravity there is in the world, there's an equal if not a greater amount of good people and good things.
We can't be happy all the time, sure. But things do get better, you just have to weather the storm.
And once it's all over, you see the greatest miracle of all, inside you.
The light that never gives out.
