chronic apathy

shouting into the void

at what point does your own happiness become sufficient justification for your life

[greyter]

it's fucking dumb

[greyter]

to all of you who have your health,

there is not as much stopping you as you think.

life can be great, and you can make it so. believe that.

[greyter]

i want to be well

[greyter]

don't know what i feel but there's a lot of it

[greyter]

if at some point you realize you can,

you must recognize that at all moments before now you could not.

two wolves within me

one is angry

the other is tired

that wolf has fought all my battles. it is injured and incapacitated.

the angered wolf sees its counterpart incapacitated and no longer has anyone to rage against

perhaps if it can no longer rage inward, it can rage outward too

and when they are not fighting each other, they can both fight for you

for try as you might, both wolves exist. you may feed whichever you like, but when that wolf is injured and can fight no more, the other rears its head.

perhaps it is the fool who is never outraged. never angry

the ugly, less enlightened inclinations exist in you still.

you see it as sin to protect yourself. it is vanity and ego.

is it?

when the good wolf inside you has fought for so long it collapses, it is no longer a good way to live.

accept the angry, indignant parts of yourself. they are not your preference, but you cannot help circumstance, only your reaction to it.

that wolf exists. it is not evil. it is your protector. you keep it on a short leash. it is an aggressive beast.

but if one comes too close to me, the soft, vulnerable parts, the wolf rears its head and growls.

both of these beasts are your guardians. one drives you where you want to be, the other guards the ground you have gained.

neither are evil.

nor are you.

you have a right to defend yourself.

[greyter]

every day you strike a deal with a different devil

it is not by preference. at some point you fell into hell

there are no saints to call on here.

you walk and you wander, ever an uphill journey, searching for the barrier back into heaven

some days you stumble and lose ground

you fall even deeper into this pit, and wonder how you will ever make it out now.

so you you bargain with the devils in their habitat

sometimes they help. it always seems they take more than they give

you don't strike as many bargains anymore.

you've been climbing so long. sometimes it feels you're deeper than you ever thought you could fall.

one day you realized that there was, in fact, no exit. this pit may stretch from heaven to hell, but no person can touch either end, and everything in between is simply earth.

and you realize you see more hell than heaven upon this earth

but it's easy to think that way from so deep in the pit.

you begin to strike bargains again, because these are not devils. they are people, and within each lies the a potential demon or a saint.

some are contented to stay put where they are, others too afraid to move, but you'll encounter many journeymen as well. some can't tell up from down, but it is not for you to lead them. some have such fear of hell that they plunge themselves into the depths either to kill or befriend the devil himself, but they won't ever meet him.

absolutes are an illusion, after all.

you do not believe in heaven anymore, but you do believe in climbing.

if nothing else, you'll find high ground for when the waters come.

if kyoshi is bisexual and korra is bisexual it p much stands that aang has to be canonically bisexual. they are reincarnations. avatar = bisexual.

[datfreakshow]

Dare I say, we can take it one step further and say the avatars are pansexual? I feel like the nature of the situation could call for it

[cactusbaseball]

Pan isnt one step further than bi. Bi isnt a halfway point. Also Korra and kiyoshi are canonically bi and that's a fact

[datfreakshow]

I am aware, I’ve apologized for this comment before, it was a thoughtless one.

[firstgrave]

lmao where did you apologize? because I saw your “I wasn’t being biphobic but I guess I commented on the wrong persons post” response, but you completely ignored my response to you and never said shit so

[greyter]

no one can seem to agree what the difference is though

why are you guys getting butthurt over semantics

[greyter]

call me crazy but seeing as how gender's a social construct, i dont think self expression should be gendered at all
