    Carcino is the past, Vinn is the aftermath. ----- At some point in time, Carcino became bound to Vinn, leading to the latter living with a malformed past version of themselves. Initially, it was a very scary process for both parties. Carcino having to adjust to being part of a new body and Vinn having to share said body with them. Gradually, things get easier, but they aren't without ups and downs. However, this doesn't matter to Vinn; even when things hurt, he doesn't hold a grudge against Carcino. He knows that Carcino isn't malicious against him. After all, even if Carcino originates from bad roots, it doesn't mean they're rotten themselves. ----- Past and Aftermath is not a story story, but it is used to represent how living with your past self can demonstrate how much you've grown and changed.

    Every time I get frustrated, angry, upset, I come back to the same idea. I'm not suicidal. I don't want to die. I just wish I had never been born. I just wish life on earth never existed to begin with. Maybe it's cowardly. Maybe it's fairly so. Either way, it's my truth. So, let's talk. This is a collection of my outbursts or moments of grief that I have put into a string of words. Apparently, it helps. It is my take on my own bits and struggles with mental health that I am willing to share. I will give a fair warning: I like to talk in metaphors and give ambiguous terms meaning. I hope you will at least give it a chance and hopefully you can connect with it. Maybe create some of your own blurbs in the comments. This is how I de-stress. What's yours?
