The Becoming - Tristan and Herbert

There was a shattered realisation after the death of his father that there was now no buffer between himself and the expectations of greatness. It choked Tristan, weighed him down as much as the body of his father had, the hundred pairs of eyes that had fixed upon them both in startled horror. He had broken down in the most public fashion imaginable, pleading with his father to rise because he couldn’t imagine a world without him. Henri had always been a rather frightening, forbidding presence, always removed and often disappointed, but he had been his father nonetheless. So much of Tristan had revolved around him - pleasing him, displeasing him, subverting and making up his expectations. He had thought, naively perhaps, that eventually his father might come to forgive him for his faults, to stop seeing his brother in his place. He knew now that that would never happen.

He had, after the initial terror of the occurrence, acted as a good son. He had organised his father’s funeral with Alexandre, with all the pomp and circumstance that was appropriate for his passing. He had stood vigil for him, and had offered up a rare prayer, dry-eyed and pale-faced as a priest commended his soul to God. Meanwhile, his mind offered him no solace, and his dreams were haunted by questions of who had taken the life of the Grand Marshal, who sought to plunge France into war. Through his own actions, he knew that Spain and France were in delicate straits at the moment, although there had been some sympathy within Tuileries towards his predicament. He shuddered to think of who might have worsened it.

Even he was questioned for his father’s death, but those who knew him understood that he had nothing to gain. Tristan actively avoided such positions of power and grandeur, and after gruelling questioning, he was resolved of suspicion. Understandably, he shuddered to think of the position that would now fall upon his shoulders, and in true fashion, he mourned, and he drank, and he avoided all that he could - lover, friends, companions. When Herbert had found him, he was roaring drunk and fresh from a fight at the Fisherman’s Daughter, bleeding and furious and thrown out of even that place to keep the peace. It was raining and cold by the docks, and he simply pulled himself up to drag himself under the overhanging roof of the tavern, another misbegotten soul forgotten by even the misbegotten. There, his mind buzzing with alcohol and his wounds beginning to hurt, he let himself fall into a miserable doze.

today i choose consistency over intensity.

i’m not chasing motivation.

i’m building habits that hold me when motivation disappears.

some days growth looks loud.

most days it looks boring, quiet, and uncomfortable.

i’m learning that becoming isn’t about reinventing myself—

it’s about showing up again after i don’t.

this is me, practicing.

even when no one’s watching.

#Yaaaoooo Marvin said it best. “ Meditation deep within, that's the way it begins.. On your reasons and your rhymes and your seasons and your times. On your family and your Bible and your knowledge of survival. You got to pray and meditate”... • #Namaste #DontTrip #TheBecoming #OutOfAfrica #FromGreenburghToJohannesburgh #JoBurghFlow #Johannesburgh #SouthAfrica #MommaAfrica #MotherLand #HommeLand #RoyalFlyness #Swaganomatry #Hustlersinstyle #Catchusifucan Cc @deedeeb827 #princeoffashionmikeb (at Pilanesberg, North-West, South Africa) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9aSM47Ae0z/?igshid=gyn5nrk5844b
