Despair: absence of hope
Winds of despair, sometimes or the other, catch us like the winds of changing seasons. One brings us sorrow, the other flu. No matter how hard you try to protect yourself, they impact you, at least once in a lifetime. 

A failed career, loss of someone you loved or meaningless relationships can break anyone. But the darkest tunnel of despair has a bright ray of hope at the end.

*** 

Winds of despair touch me as I walk the path of life, 
my mind teeter- totters on the conclusions I want to drive.

The same old childhood friendships do not sound fun and glee,
my eyes are blinded to the happiness I wish to see. 

The little beads of memories I treasure are no longer with me,
while I rummage for them, thorns of worry pierce me.

The lands are barren, the lush green heart replaced by weeds of sorrow,
winds of despair carry its seeds to where the light would reach tomorrow. 

A green seed sprouts on the land, untouched by the wind,
hails and storms are unable to wither its skin.

A red flower blooms, the land turns green and calm,
I find my little beads of memories clenched in my palm.

The winds of despair have withdrawn,
and I, now wait for the hail of dawn.

Logline: He's a hopeless romantic, she's romantically hopeless. Together? They're a match made by the gods. --- Love-cursed Verena has never known the pitfalls of true heartbreak or the euphoria of a special meet cute. Instead, she spends her days working as an event planner and sigil artist for Aphrodite and being an accidental wingman to anyone and everyone around her. Matteo is a male witch with an affinity for shiny things and romantic comedies who is single for the first time in seven years. All of his training under Freyja should've ended in happily ever after, but alas. While starting fresh in the city of Mysnia, Matteo meets Verena and the sparks fly instantly. But Verena holds a secret near and dear to her heart: she won't fall in love; not for anyone, and Matteo hopes maybe he will have the luck to thaw out her frozen heart while mending his own in the process. --- ONC 2025 Prompts: #49 (main): As a love mentor, you suddenly experience a devastating breakup.

In life, we all have our own roller coaster. It goes up and down and swirls around. We have the greatest moments to never forget and we have our worst memories we try to erase. I wish my life was better than what it became, but the world, isn't a wish granting factory. You get what you get, and you have to deal with it. Like they always say, everything happens for a reason. From, Me "She made broken look beautiful and strong look invincible, she walked with the universe on her shoulders and made it look like a pair of wings."
