Hate how much the term "literature" is general now. TikTok is killing me. I saw someone compare The Secret History to Brother Karamazov and call Song Of Achilles literature. I'm dying.

Leafpool!! Tragic lady,,

Don’t get me wrong I love her, but I like squirrelflight a LIL more because leafs chapters in tnp are SO boring oml

Guess who all the lil items scattered around her represent

Also why do her and Leafstar have such similar descriptions? Like for a while I genuinely though Leafpool had gone off and become the leader of skyclan because of some story her dad told her when she was a baby or smth

I am one of those who has no trouble imagining the sentient lives of trees, of their leaves in some fashion communicating or of the massy trunks and heavy branches knowing it is I who have come, as I always come, each morning, to walk beneath them, glad to be alive and glad to be there.

Would you (and only you) live a life of immortality?

After I read the question, I toyed with the idea. I’ve watched and read a lot of fiction that paints immortality as a sort of living hell, and I wanted to move away from those prejudices. 

There were two types of immortality that came to mind. First, there is agelessness or eternal youth - the guarantee that one will never be plagued by natural deterioration/death. Then, there is true immortality: agelessness coupled with an immunity to death. In this case, any and all physical harm will never be lethal. Sure, that sounds badass, but that also means I would not be able to take my own life, should I ever tire of living. I do not have suicidal tendencies, but I feel that it is important that I have some control over my own life. Moreover, I would be a kind of fugitive from the world; being immortal might mean that others will hunt me down with hopes of finding the secret to immortality, either as a weapon or as a cure. Even if I weren’t coerced into some inhumane situation, if word ever got out, surely it would make it to the headlines. From then on, I probably wouldn’t be entitled to the same treatment as a ‘normal’ person.

As for eternal youth, it definitely sounds tempting.The ability to avoid the mental and physical deterioration of aging means that I would have so much time to do so much more. I could accumulate such a vast wealth of knowledge and help progress in science. There is so much to learn; if I had my fill of one subject, I could move onto another. I could dream of the future, and then experience it for myself. And when I felt truly done, I could end it.

However, yet again, there is the problem of being the only immortal. There’s no telling how the world would treat such an abnormality. I believe that the people in my life that I interact with on a regular basis would come to accept my odd condition. But there will always be extremists who tolerate nothing that threatens their beliefs. So immortality, in their book, would be a monstrous anomaly, immoral, something that should not be. As long as they don’t threaten my way of life, I wouldn’t have a problem. But it’s hard to tell.

Finally, there’s the fact that everyone I care for will age and die before me… unless I take my own life. But even then, I feel like there’s a special kind of bond and shared wisdom that comes with growing and aging alongside people who care about you. Time would stop for me while I watch my sister, my lover, my children and grandchildren grow, age, and pass. It seems like it would be sad. I don’t know if the grief would come to pass, or if it would be more crippling. I don’t know. There is the opportunity to start anew and form a new life, which would be interesting. But I don’t know how much I could enjoy the relationships, 20 or so years after forming them - when the difference in aging really becomes apparent.

I would have to pass.
