[The past few days have been terribly confusing for Litchi. The teleportation thing has left her far more shaken than she'd care to admit; falling out of a tree and having a close friend just confess to you will do that to a person ( Read more... )

It isn't foolish if there is even a small chance of achieving your hope and it is worth the risk of holding on to. After all, if you give up now, you will definitely never accomplish whatever it is.

[...]

That's precisely how I feel; there really isn't any turning back now. Although lately, I have to admit, it's been seeming more hopeless than ever.

[Written/Filtered] oracleofdeath September 29 2010, 04:27:10 UTC

But if you give up, you'll just likely spend all your life wondering if you could have done it had you not given up. Could you truly be happy that way?

[Written/Filtered] not_meatbuns September 29 2010, 04:42:13 UTC

No. No, I really couldn't ever forgive myself if I missed even a sliver of a chance.

Yes, it's foolish. But people tend to do so anyways.

not_meatbuns September 29 2010, 04:28:14 UTC

[Well, there's a straightforward answer.]

I've tried not to, but I just can't seem to help myself.

1week_wizard September 29 2010, 05:17:46 UTC

I'm assuming you're human, yes? It's just in your nature.

not_meatbuns September 29 2010, 05:42:17 UTC

Well... yes, I am. And I suppose you do have a point.

[Although now she's wondering what this girl is, if not human. Like that's the important part.]

[And oblivious to Litchi's written entry into her journal, Thirteen enters the living room carrying a cup of hot tea, which he'll hand to Litchi while she's on the couch.]

How are you feeling today?

[Action] not_meatbuns September 29 2010, 04:40:26 UTC

[Litchi jumps slightly as he enters the room, but gives a small, genuine smile as he hands her the tea.]

I'm feeling quite a bit better, thank you. The cough finally seems to be clearing up a bit.

[Silently grateful that he hasn't seemed to notice the journal in the couch cushions, she takes a sip of the tea.] ...I really do appreciate what a tremendous help you've been.

[Action] yellowthirteen September 29 2010, 04:50:03 UTC

[Thirteen will take a seat in the chair nearest to the couch, and he regards Litchi carefully as she speaks.]

It's good to hear that. I was worried it might persist for longer than this.

[And he gives her a slight smile to the second part.]

It's nothing, Litchi. All I want is for you to feel better. I know you'd be doing the same for me...

[Action] not_meatbuns September 29 2010, 05:05:41 UTC

[Her smile turns rather affectionate.] Of course I would. I'd be there in a heartbeat.

[She shifts slightly, tugging the blanket she's been keeping herself bundled up in closer around herself.] But yes, the cough finally seems to be clearing. I'm not sure how much longer it will be until I'm back on my feet, but everything seems to be healing at just the rate I was expecting.

[Self-diagnosis. It's awesome and you know it.]

That is what it means to pray for a miracle. It is foolish, but it is foolishness that can be rewarded if you hold on long enough and never give up. Otherwise you can never see the world outside the well.

But, if you do give up on that hope, you should not be faulted for it.

[voice/filter] not_meatbuns September 29 2010, 04:49:34 UTC

To be honest, I... I'm not even sure if I want to hold on anymore. Sometimes, I can't imagine ever giving up, but others...

[Is it really the right decision? She's not sure she even knows anymore.]

[voice/filter] kakeravoyager September 29 2010, 04:58:18 UTC

If you give up on hope then a miracle will certainly never occur. If you are satisfied with never seeing that wish come true, then abandon it and let it drift away. If you cannot let go of that hope, then hold it tightly to your heart and keep praying and struggling. It takes a strong will to hold on to the faint glimmer in your heart, saying that the result you desire will come some day.

[voice/filter] not_meatbuns September 29 2010, 05:14:16 UTC

You're certainly right. I... I don't think I could ever accept it if it was lost for good just because I didn't have the courage to hold on.

neverplaysfair September 29 2010, 04:37:36 UTC

That depends on why you hold onto it.

not_meatbuns September 29 2010, 04:52:08 UTC

[Her handwriting is a little sloppier on this one.]

I'm holding on for someone who means everything to me.

neverplaysfair September 29 2010, 05:04:51 UTC

If they mean more than your own happiness, then that is your decision made. If you are willing to abandon your own future for their sake, then no one can take that decision from you.

not_meatbuns September 29 2010, 05:21:03 UTC

[And that's where she feels particularly selfish; it's not even just for someone else's happiness, but hers as well. There's a long stretch before she responds again.]

I suppose you're right. Thank you.
