Hello, journal.

You are doing your best and that is good enough.

i hold fast because it matters.

[cryptonature]

It's not a mistake to need rest.

Or seek help.

Or make secret pacts with household spiders.

Or find friendship in the dark beneath a log.

Or to think "hello" into the night sky and wait for a response.

Or sink your fingers into the soil to see if they take root.

Or, despite everything, to love this world.

(From the poetry collection Leaf Litter by Jarod K Anderson)

Oh, Anchordeep. How I wish I hadn't first visited under these circumstances. It's such a beautiful place.

I'm growing to hate it.

I've finished building some new homes for our haven. I noticed people were often asking me to locate family members, so I thought they might like someplace for all of them to stay together...

@blu-screen , Hello! It's nice to meet you.

[elewetheromania]

Hoorah!

I'm beginning to think that dying repeatedly is just a part of anything related to godhood... It certainly isn't the best experience. At least you become desensitized at some point.

Not to toot my own horn, but I sure think so! I needed someone like me, so I'll be me for them.

It... is a little bit more pressure than I expected. Not that I was ever expecting this whole situation to happen. But I can handle it! And even if I couldn't I have to, so no use wallowing.

⋆ ya know i keep hearin that, about the whole. death gets easier each time? guess i must be missin' that switch in my skull or somethin' cos it hurts just about now as the first time to me.. h eh

⋆ good on ya though bud. sometimes ya just. gotta be the change ya wanna see in the world and all that good stuff

⋆ ....can uh. sorta relate there pal. sometimes life. sure throws a lot at ya. and boy would ya be surprised what ya can adapt to.

⋆ what doesn't kill ya might make ya stronger, but what does kill ya sure teaches you a lesson for next time. h eh

[elewetheromania]

Hmm... It's really not that it hurts any less. You just get used to it. That's how I feel, anyway. Like when you just automatically start doing a task and don't have to think about it. It's all the same as it ever is.

That's very kind of you to say, and very encouraging to hear. Thank you, Blu.

It really makes you wonder what strength is, ultimately.
