>>95777758My kind Anon, none of us DESERVE to suffer. None of us DESERVE anything at all. Suffering, in all of its depths, and in all of its intricacies, is an inevitability. For we all one day bury the ones we love, or they bury us in their stead. Though we may shed tears, steep ourselves in our grief, our journeys are not at end, unless we deem it so by our own hand. Many do not have the courage for it, so we choose something safer, the mask of mediocrity, the cloak of victimhood. But it is a choice to die a slow, miserable death; for the soul to fester and wither away. Even a flower who's roots have rotted under, crushed by fate and misfortune, does not turn back to soil overnight. It may take years to fully wilt into nothingness. To return to the earth, and become what we are made from; scattered across the plains like ashes from the eternal fire we call life.
This is the cycle in which we are destined for. From the moment we take our first breaths, this is the fate we bear witness to, slowly spelled out for us through the passage of time. Some may find themselves lost, accursed, bewildered by the weight of the world and it's perils. Most do, at some time or another, and we are lucky enough to survive it, to let it forge us each time into something stronger, and greater than before.
I ask of you kind Anons, to cast away your shames, your anxieties. Find your Stars. Search for them in the world. Run to your Jackies and see the breadth of their smiles. Find your Jannas, your rascals. Find the Marco of your dreams, and be a Star to him. I ask of you, to not wallow in suffering, but to lay yourself bare upon the jagged rocks you call your fears. Throw yourselves in the fray, plunge yourselves into the underworld, and rise anew with bolstered spirit.
Find what you are missing, fellow Anons, whatever it is. See it in your mind's eye, and move to claim it. For in the end, there is one thing for sure. That we fade away into the darkness, one way, or another.
