they really didn't have to go this hard, but the writers of epic seven are not fucking around with this game that wants you to click auto-battle thousands of times. this is how i fall asleep most nights, listening to the regular features podcast and playing this game. i used to read books to fall asleep, but i get too anxious now. or maybe it was years of sleeping in rooms with people who need perfect dark to sleep, while i've always needed a light on. a couple of years ago, my headlamp stopped working. the accidental descent into habits you never wanted. "those who endlessly yearn for hope will experience far more frustration than those who never had any to begin with." god damn.
i don't know exactly how i became the person i am now, but i'm trying to exert more direct influence over who i become next, rather than wallowing in perceived powerlessness. however much time we all have left. whatever happens. i'm not going to stop yearning for hope. you can be frustrated and still act. in fact, overcoming frustration can be a powerful motivation. let's fight for ourselves and each other, however we can.
