Can someone explain what’s happening besides someone being reborn?

In the first comic, which is from the Warrior’s point of view, the Warrior has defeated the Monster, who jeers that there will always be another Monster to fight. The Monster dissolves into mist, leaving another tiny, baby Monster in its place. The Warrior picks up this helpless new baby Monster and carries it away. They will try again and do better this time.

In the second comic, which is from the Monster’s point of view, the Monster says that this has to happen; it can’t come with the Warrior, and there will always be another.  It tells the Warrior to use what they have learned to fight.  It wants to die knowing that the Warrior has hope for the future.  It dissolves into mist, and the exhausted Warrior collapses. The new baby Monster comes and brings the Warrior some water in a leaf.  Because we are reading this in the Monster’s voice, we realize that it is a new Monster, but also somehow, magically, the same.  We also see that the Monster is not inherently evil.  It is only very strong, and inevitable.

The third comic is a dialogue between the Monster and the Warrior.  The Warrior is exhausted and horrifically wounded. The Monster is also horribly maimed.  They are both dying. The Warrior doesn’t want to fight anymore.  The Monster tells them to rest and heal. The Warrior hands over their amulet, and we see the Monster’s paw become a hand just before they both dissolve into mist.  It clears, revealing that the Monster has turned into a beautiful humanoid, who says they will take care of the new baby monster the Warrior has turned into.  The two have changed roles.  The Warrior takes up the former Warrior’s gear and strides into the new year with the new baby Monster riding on their shoulders.

It is a beautiful, ruthless, hopeful metaphor about keeping up the good fight, year after year, even when we are worn down, and how we can still face the new year with hope and light, no matter how painful the last one was, and how it is okay to rest if we can’t fight.

It’s not the new year, but things are so difficult for so many of us right now, and we are so worn down from so many fights on so many fronts, I feel like we could all use this again.  Love, rest, fight, love.

“You get all upset when I go missing the minute you look away. You get worried when I catch a cold or get hurt. Sometimes you act really strict because you don’t want me to be in danger. When I sleep, you stay by my side, because you don’t want me to get lonely. You always hold my hand so that I can always be with you. I know...that you’re actually really nice. Because...you’re my dad.”

The End of a Decade: 2020

The lights of celebration dim, the sounds that erupt in the midnight air go silent. Another year passes and in comes the start of a new decade. The last 10 years have been a significant part of finding where and how I fit in the world. I still find myself uncertain, broken, and with an ever growing void. Where I belong is an enigma.

All I have remaining is my optimism and willpower. With them, I managed to make it to this point and with them, I hope to make it to the next. But I’m afraid my despair is getting the best of me. I will not succumb to the void that continues to consume my optimism, but seems it is inevitable. It’s been difficult to keep my head from looking down. The burdens of the world and my own doubt only seem to grow heavier and heavier. I don’t know where to go or who to turn to. When it comes down to it, I don’t trust anyone. Only God knows the storms brewing in my mind and only He has been getting me through it. I don’t want to whine and complain while people worry. So I must bare my burdens with what’s left of my smile in silence. This is the one time of year, I can let go of some of that turmoil.

Hopefully by 2021, I’ll be able to look upon these words with a triumphant smile. And maybe then, my words for the future will be more encouraging. Good luck to us in 2020. May I’ll find who I’m looking for then...

As many of you know, I recently purchased an Uruk-Hai scimitar.

Well let me tell you, it was quite the pragmatic purchase. It has endless uses in my morning routine.

Such as making the bed:

Making toast:

Getting things off high shelves:

Making coffee:

Reaching the remote when it’s too far away:

And assisting me when I ran out of toilet paper:

I don't know how I survived life without it.

I Stand Here

As the new year comes I stand upon the edge of existence staring into the unknown abyss that is our future. Uncertain, alone, afraid, I stand not knowing what will become of me. Nothing to assure my tired heart and my worrying mind. Friends and family only to walk in front of me or behind me, but never close enough to reach out. I stagger through the darkness hoping to feel someone’s hand grasp mine tightly. I can only envy those who know that comfort as I slowly forget how it once felt.

Now to a new beginning to a new chapter of existence, I continue to search for the light; light that will bring me certainty into this world full of darkness. To the voice that will one day tell me, “you’ve done enough. You don’t have to fight anymore.” I long feel the soul that will fill the everlasting void consuming my heart slowly. And maybe one day, I won’t have to be alone. I won’t have to be afraid. I won’t have to be so uncertain. Because no matter how much the world may fall apart, where I stand will be solid and true. With you.

2018

As I stare into the face of the mysterious new year alone, I leave 2017 behind with no regrets. My heart rages with a fire that all of 2017 could not extinguish. I had my highs and my lows and I couldn’t be more proud of the person I have become. I promised myself to be bolder and I have come along way. I bonded more, networked more, and pursued more. I have lived more. My resolved has been tested this passed year and looking back, I have not waivered in what I believe in. Despite not being exactly where I want to be, I can stand proud on my own two feet, that I stand forward from where I once was. That will do.

Happy New Year, 2018

Fading...

I realize that there’s really no one to save me from the darkness... I don’t want to be consumed but maybe that’s just easier. Struggling is so stressful... I’ve reached too deep into the dark for others... Maybe I’m finally lost. Maybe thats ok...
