 I got a letter from the school! I'm going to be a prefect this year!

This is so exciting! I'm a little nervous, but mostly I'm flattered. I mean, I guess it's pretty good to be considered prefect material, right?

I think Mother's proud, honestly. That feels pretty good, too.

Getting hurt is kind of bad by definition, don't you think?

[moveslikejaeger]

no it heals and theres a lot of old sayings about pain and suffering making you stronger and also how can you know joy if you do not also sadness

[hairflyingheartpounding]

I think those sayings are true, I guess, but there's pain you can avoid and pain you can't.

[moveslikejaeger]

but what do you do when faced with pain you cant avoid? to never experience pain is to never truly know it its like being kept inside your whole life only hearing stories of the outside world i do not want to spend my whole life trusting what others say to be true i want to know and experience for myself

[moveslikejaeger]
