Together We Stand

INTRO

How do you tell a well structured story, when life is absolute chaos? No one here gets a break, so do you? Twists and turns, right and left. You are not reading a sappy, consistent romance, with only beautiful love. You are reading about the chaos within the sap, the beauty within the dark, and the power of sticking together. No one here would have made it this far without those around them, and sometimes, you meet your people too late.

Sometimes the best characters are the ones like us, who's life is unstable. They struggle to find their place. But sometimes, the best ones are lost, in the (roughly) 50,000 people who lost their lives in 2022, because life was too rough to keep going. Those who found a way to end their lives themself. But when you stand together, life seems a little easier.

I was like these people once, but I found my Ruth, and my Blaire, and my Venus, Harley, Damien. My Lucy, who's more commonly known as Lovie, not for the love in her heart, but for her last name Lovelace (though she has more than enough love for everyone!), and even little ones like Abbie and Rosette. The world slowly gets easier when you find where you belong, not where others think you belong. Even those who seem like they have it all figured out, can have a deeper story deep inside.

No one gets out of life without a scratch, but it is easier to heal when you have others to help. I depended on people just like Ruth did, thinking that other people would be the sole reason I could get better. But that's not how you heal, you can't use other people like a crutch. You have to find it in yourself to get better, and even people like broken Ruth, who believes she could never get better, can find it in them to believe. People around you, like Lovie, can give you reasons to believe.

Get lost in the lives of these characters, who've never had a day of comfort in their lives. If they can make it (mostly), so can you. After all, we stand together, and Together We Stand.
