i go abSOLUTELY FERAL! and crying and throwing up when a dying person’s last words are something along the lines of “you need to find happiness after this, you need to live a good life.” the implications of this, PLEASE! like. i know i will not be there when you are laughing. but still do it anyway. i know i won’t be there when you want to talk about your adventures. but still talk about them. i won’t be here anymore but i need you to continue living. life is good and kind but sometimes it is a bitch and sometimes it hurts you but it is not all that bad. please continue living. i love you so much. this is my wish for you. promise me that you find happiness.
and it’s a bonus! A BONUS! and much more heartbreaking when it comes from a parent figure or a guardian figure. BECAUSE! as a guardian you go through life knowing, HOPING, that you will cross that bridge of death first and you can only pray that by the time you will, the ones you are leaving behind will understand that there is more to life than pain.
LIKE!! THIS QUOTE FROM SIX CRIMSON CRANES!!
' "Learn from my mistakes,” she said, so softly I had to lean close to hear, “and learn from my joys. Surround yourself with those who’ll love you always, through your mistakes and your faults. Make a family that will find you more beautiful every day, even when your hair is white with age. Be the light that makes someone’s lantern shine." A long breath, her chest falling. “Will you do this, my daughter?”
I could barely nod, let alone speak. “Yes." '
