Whoever tries to keep their life will lose it, and whoever loses their life will preserve it.
My only inspiration is to give myself freedom to be lost, lonely, and wander Norrath while I attempt to heal myself of the demon of anger, fear, rage, and control.

I want safety. I want peace. I want comfort. I want ease. Wanting isn't why we are here though. "I want" and "I need" are selfish. I suffered selflessly in self hate attempting to cure myself and purge myself of that which I hated most. The need for vengeance and power and control. I was lost there and I felt no joy for decades. I do feel comfort and rest here though. There was a man with many wants who terrified me and hurt me until I forgave him and while I am still afraid of this man he no longer dominates my fears as I understand his wants and needs as flawed and broken as they are. I am no longer haunted.

I am still trying to understand this, maybe there is no meaning in absolutely everything we do, but we may seek meaning in the meaningless or something. I am willing to endure this hardship in order to move on and seek a new experience. necromancy isn't my 1st choice, but I feel compelled to put my effort into it. I don't feel bad. I don't feel particularly good, it is just safe. Mundane. Simple. And gives me time to think. And process. And engage with others, like you. Here.
