the  world  is  full of goodbyes.  some  are  more  permanent  then  others.  some  come  unexpected  ,  some  left  unsaid.  there  are  so  many  words  that  annie  cresta  wishes  she  could  offer  @ifnecessary.  gratitude  ,  love  ,  and  everything  in  between.  there's  a  smile  that  warms  the  woman's  face.  once  that  reaches  all  the  way  ,  full  of  light.  but  still  behind  it  ,  hides  the  unspoken  sadness  that  always  remains.    ❝   take  a  trip  to  see  us,  you'll  love  the  water.    ❞    infant  is  held  tightly  in  her  arms  ,  small  ,  but  already  so  much  like  his  father.    ❝  i  don't  know  what  i'm  going  home   to  . . . but  i  know  that  he . . .  finnick  would  want  him  to  grow  up  there.  ❞    the name is heavy like an anchor , the ache never dulling.

she shifts infant to one arm carefully , the other wrapping tightly around effie's frame. ❝  this isn't a forever goodbye for us.    ❞   the world they know has never allowed them promises. but she wants to be certain about this one , even if unspoken.

there is a different air about this train ride into the capitol . a different feeling than he had the first go around when he was so naive . . . even for a lamb being sent to the slaughter . perhaps it was because he knew more about what would happen this time . perhaps it was because he had thought ( however foolishly ) that he was safe after becoming a victor . forced into a marriage with a girl who would never love him the way he loved her . . . sure . exiled by his family and all but alone in the world . . . definitely . but physically he should have been fine . that was the rules that they played by . you win the games ( even by accident as he had ) and you are secure in the knowledge that you cannot be touched by the games in that way again . his biggest fear had been who he would have to mentor this year - he had never dreamed he'd be standing here on his way back to being a tribute . it was horrific . . . .  it was convenient .  usually , he's good at hearing people when they walk up to him . perhaps a leftover from his time running from children killing in cold blood in the woods of his last arena . he was so lost in thought , however , that he did not hear effie until she spoke . his anxiety did not usually show like other people's - katniss had asked once why he never screamed or shout out from fear . he supposed he kept it bottled up and let it boil , ripping his insides apart . it was all just a mask , really .  because of this he's almost sure her words are simply to soothe what she thinks might be going on inside of him . if so , she isn't wrong . he is fearful , angry .  . . he can't calm himself or his emotions . but her words do nothing but pull at his brain . nothing about this will ever be okay . in a way - it's poetic . he was meant to die in the first arena and had escaped death with a mocking smile . it was only right that he came back - he did not intend to make it out of this one alive no matter what the other two were planning behind his back . and planning they were - haymitch was just as cunning as katniss . still , he turns to effie and forces a small smile on his face . she , at least , is fragile and he does believe she means well . ' I was only enjoying the scenery out of the windows . it was my favorite . . . last time . ' he hopes he doesn't send her into hysterics like the prep team - he was good with words but the crying made his feelings a lot harder to handle .

effie is beautiful , beyond the capitol glamour of bright colors and extravagant design. nails pick at the skin of her other fingers, red and raw. she doesn't acknowledge the other at first , green hues focused on marble floor. it's only when the other joins her on cushioned bench , that she looks up with a half smile. ❝ thank you. ❞ her words are short , but @ifnecessary being here is more appreciated then she knows , even if they're mostly strangers. annie only knows her because of finnick , but never had the chance to speak to her like this.

❝ i'm not sure my rating score is going to be very high. ❞ she had stuck to the instructions she had been given , focused on setting traps and setting nets. it was nothing , compared to the abilites of the other tributes. she was sure of it. she doesn't know why she's spilling her emotions so freely , but with effie , it feels easy. she's been behind a wall , a painted smile. it's easy to play the girl , who is full of hope. but the truth she knows , in a few short days, the arena will be the last place she sees.

❝ i really like your hair. ❞ she changes the subject , in awe of the bright strands. district 4 shades are nothing like that. worn clothing of browns and blues. most worn out from their time at the sea, from the time spent working. the dress she had shown up in , had once belonged to her mother's , beautiful but too big for her own frame.

his  gaze  would  have  almost  moved  past  her.  grey  in  grey.  an  abnormally  within  the  system  : her  styled  hair  piece  and  the  sunglasses  attached.    it's  a  faint  grin.  a  knowing  a  familiar  soul,  a  suffering  that  is  perhaps  familiar  in  the  monotony  that  is  district  thirteen.  he  moves  to  her  side,  gaze  lingering  on  the  crowd  ahead.  the  rumble  of  a  schedule  calling  them  all  here    (  not  that  he  had  been  good  at  keeping  to  his  own.  plainly  ignored  since  they  stitched  him  back  well  enough  that  he  can  walk  in  a  straight  line    ).      "  i  didn't  think  thirteen  had  any  kind  of  fashion  style.    "    he  murmurs  from  the  side,  one  slip  of  a  smile  despite  the  grey  that  had  gotten  to  him.

On Monday, October 9 people across Australia will come together to celebrate Headspace day. Headspace Day is an opportunity to support the 1 in 4 young Australians who experience a mental health issue in any given time. As part of the National Campaign, Headspace is asking all Australians to share what they do to look after their mental health, and we’ve made it easy for everyone to get involved! For me, boring self-care is just as important as the cool stuff like yoga and art. How can you join in? 1. Go to headspaceday.org.au and download a Headspace day placard. 2. On October 9, share your personal mental health tip on the placard and hold it up in a photo that can be posted on your socials using #headspaceday #spoonie #spooniewithacold #headspacedayNW #headspaceYAC #selfcare #boringselfcare #takeyourmeds #withfoodorwater #ifnecessary
