I have been sifting through a lot of personal BS lately. Not posting in my scrapbook about it has actually taught me a fair bit of restraint. I'm glad for that.
That said, I need to state it here that I'm not really going to be the best person to be around for a while. My best friend's brother is on his death bed after long years of chronic medical problems. He's in his late 20s.
I'm not distraught. He's not my brother, and I don't feel the same kind of pain my friend is going through, but this kind of thing reminds me that while I indulge in my fantasy worlds, the real one is the only one that matters. I'm not very good at comforting people through these kinds of things, but for the sake of my friend, I am going to do my very best to ensure that she knows I am always here for her.
You guys probably know I'm not very religious, but if you care and you'd like to send your thoughts and prayers (not to me personally, this is not my tragedy, but just to take a moment and consider that a young human life is ending), I would be grateful.
This just absolutely isn't fair. This man has never done anything wrong, never broken a law, never did anything to deserve the poor genetics that brought on these health issues. I cannot imagine what my friend and her family are going through if it upsets me this much.
In the daytime I am one of Syna's fallen.
At night, I am Symenestra.
