Sometimes the world burns and it's something to be remedied; it's something to be fixed, to be patched up and smoothed over, and you go back to forgetting that it was ever burning to begin with.

And sometimes the world burns, and that's just the state of things. If it's not your new normal, it becomes your generalized normal rather quickly. It's not the end of things, it's just places you no longer go and precautions you become accustomed to taking. Adapt. Overcome. Evolve.

Things are settling again, for now. We'll see if it stays that way or if the scales continue to tip. But while I don't take pleasure in all that's been happening lately, I can't say I haven't missed being part of a world setting itself on fire, either.

Better the former than the latter, I'd say. Forgetting seems a waste.
force_a_change: (Second blade)

The smart ones don't forget, but sadly there don't seem to be many smart humans around nowadays.
manufactured: (007. you've only spent)

Not one of them, or just full of disdain: which is it?
force_a_change: (Casual)

[personal profile] force_a_change 2020-04-13 01:20 am (UTC)(link)
It's a lot of the first and maybe a little of the second.

Equally fair, in my opinion. It's merely curiosity.
force_a_change: (Observe)

[personal profile] force_a_change 2020-04-13 01:24 am (UTC)(link)
Nothing wrong with being curious, just I'm not that open with my non-human-ness.

[Even though she's anonymous, still being careful.]
manufactured: (019. can you feel my power?)

[personal profile] manufactured 2020-04-13 01:27 am (UTC)(link)
Understandably so. Some around here tend to be strange about it, if we feel like putting it gently.
force_a_change: (Oh)

[personal profile] force_a_change 2020-04-13 01:31 am (UTC)(link)
It's safe to assume that you yourself are not human then?

And I'm used to not being liked for what I am back home, although it's only one person who feels that way.

I was, but not anymore. There isn't precisely a word for what I am now.

That said, it seems to be a vocal minority here that are obnoxious about it. Most don't seem to mind.
force_a_change: (Coy)

[personal profile] force_a_change 2020-04-13 01:37 am (UTC)(link)
I see.

Well, we are all technically considered aliens on this planet. So anyone making a fuss would be a hypocrite.
manufactured: (021. and the world gets smaller)

[personal profile] manufactured 2020-04-13 01:41 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, believe me, that hasn't escaped my notice. But as you said, a fair few people aren't precisely overburdened with intelligence.
force_a_change: (Stern talking to)

[personal profile] force_a_change 2020-04-13 01:46 am (UTC)(link)
More then a fair few, it seems, if we go by who has all replied to your posting.

As long as you're the one saying it.

[no argument though, damn]

[Hah!]

Best to come from an anonymous voice instead of one with a name attached, hm?
manufactured: (001. your world is an ashtray)

[personal profile] manufactured 2020-04-15 03:45 am (UTC)(link)
I believe you would understand that just as well as I would, wouldn't you?
force_a_change: (Up to something)

[personal profile] force_a_change 2020-04-16 02:07 am (UTC)(link)
Well of course, if I didn't I'd have used my username while replying to you.
