Thank God everyone is finally back to normal. I was growing quite tired of whining and being assaulted with plastic projectiles.
Now I can get back to work.
Christmas is first and foremost a celebration of life. It does, after all, commemorate the birth of Jesus of Nazareth, whom the Christians believe was placed on this earth for the purpose of saving all of humanity by vanquishing death. The symbolism was not lost on me when I laid my plans. Humans were shown the ultimate tragedy of war at the time of year when peace was foremost in their minds. Life and death.
It was two years ago today that I myself was...vanquished.
In light of all that has happened since, I should be using this opportunity to celebrate and give thanks for my own continued existance. But I can't bring myself to do it. Even now, death is foremost in my mind.
I sometimes wonder if I continue to live as punishment for trying to walk where mortals should not.
