…Man. It hasn't really hit me how relaxed i've been lately.
…I know some of you might hate composure, but… she's the nicest person I know.
For the past few years, I've been overworked with the sanctuary, carrying the world on my shoulders. Sixteen hours day, all day every day, seven hours of sleep, and maybe one hour for free time, But composure?
…She managed to organize and teach a few hundred pokemon out of the thousands I take care of how to help with my job, without my even asking.
I didn't wanna let the pokemon help, because its my job to take care of them, and it felt like if I did, I would've been overworking them, using them for free labor but… They aren't overworked.
Each pokemon thats helped has only taken fifteen minutes out of their day, max to help with the sanctuary, and they're all so much more efficient and better at the jobs than me. I don't have to do nearly as much, only six hours of work a day, and I have three days off a week now thanks to her.
She figured out singlehandedly how the pokemon could help in the fastest, most efficient way possible for me.
Like… an example is the farms. Ground types tilling entire crops worth of soil in a second, water types using a rain dance and fire types a sunny day for watering, and providing the sunlight thats blocked by the trees? Grass types using growth to increase crop yields, and Psychic types harvesting it all in half a second.
And that kinda stuff goes to everything. Hoothoot reminding pokemon to do chores at a certain time each day every day with their sense of time…
Lucario, Ribombee and Hatterene to sense rising tensions and potential fights, and calming them down before they happen…
Tinkaton and sinicha that help with repairs?
Xatu to warn us of any intruders that will appear in the woods?
zoroarks keep our location safe with illusions.
Toxtricity, miya, a mister rime, obstagoon a skeledirge and quaquaval to entertain them all with their performances.
We have gardevoir, chansey, and audino to help heal injured pokemon, and restore them after battle.
We have mimikyu and banette that help with fabric repairs and making clothing.
Like??? She set it up so some Polteageist, sinischa, miltank and a shuckle provide a bar for beverages for fucks sake.
All because of composure, her hard work, intelligence, and effort.
I may run the sanctuary, but without her it wouldn't even be a hundredth as amazing as it is now. It might not even exist, or have been able to keep running because of her.
…She's done so much for me. No matter what I do, I'll never be able to give her the thanks and appreciation she deserves.
