Relationship Note on Svana

Legends were not born to be legends. They are merely writers of their own tale. Your tale is not over.

You may very well be the legend to those that love you. Your love could touch people in ways you do not realize. A moment of a smile is a lifetime for others. Do not compare your walk to the walk of others; your walk is your own. Your walk is special. There are so many in Arx, you are a rarity merely by existing. In life, that makes you a legend as well. For there is only one.

Count me in on the fasting. Lycene wine profits may dip. It will be okay.

Got stomped by Porter again. It was a good match. I met Lord Alecstazi, rather sad I didn't get to see that match. Such is life. For the most part a good day.

I think I have decided upon my outfit for the mask. I think. My ideas are whims of my own and prone to change as my feet move from one path to the other.

No matter what, I am not telling Thea.

White Journal Poll to any that may read this:

What defines good and bad?

Written By Esme

Sparring.

I should do this far more often. It lifts my spirits and lets me focus on other things. I don't have to worry about conversation so much as hitting a target and the mercies step in.

Send word if anyone wants to spar. I prefer to use the weapons provided by Laurent and leathers for armor.

I was in the right place at the wrong time, or the wrong place at the right time. I saw something with claws. I saw what damage it could do.

Still, upon reading journals. I can also see what damage words can do. Choices of the words we use. Tones. The whole of it.

We must all follow the paths of our lives. I just ask that we love each other on the way. The dawn is always beautiful. The sun always rises. May we offer praise for that new day.

I've taken to say 'prove it' to a few things.

So far, I have learned far more in one evening then I thought possible.
I have made an unexpected friend.
Someone who claims to get anything, has delivered nothing.
It's been rather interesting what those two words have inspired as of late.

I know, I'm at a questioning place in my life, but it's fitting. I have been in Arx for a bit of time now.

I am reflecting on the people that have come into my life. Some are still around and I cherish each of them. Some have left for various reasons. There are people that I talked to daily, that I never see anymore. There are people I never thought would be anything in my life, that have shown me what was missing.

There are also those that I just want to re-engage with, but I know I won't. That moment when you reach out, but the answer back isn't for them to pull you closer, it's for them to push you away. That's not to say it's bad. Paths in life are about those that walk with you for a very short time and those that walk with you for a lifetime. Still everyone has an impact.

Love those near you with passion while you can. Live a life without regret. Let kindness win.

A stray.

I was called a stray.

As in can't take home a stray.

I have thoughts on this, but they may not be kind. Not mad. But not kind.

I grew listless last night. I could not sleep and so I walked through the gardens and remembered Tor. The smell of roses on the air. The feeling of being at my family estate there. I have always and will always love Tor. It's my home. It's my origins. I started to think about the people I have met while in Arx. The tears, the laughter, and everything that has come with it. People who were strangers that I call friends. On the flip side, those I called friends that are now strangers. It's a strange mystical thing the way our paths touch and divide, touch and divide. I feel we are always saying hello or good-bye.

This is not a bad thing. As I walked in the gardens at Fidante in Arx and watched how the moonlight bathed the flowers, or how the shadows stretched while others slept; I found myself thinking of these things. Thinking of my next steps on the path before me and which directions that I should go on them.

I just want to thank all of you that have been on my path and might read this. I am not left untouched by any of you, be it in song and laughter, counsel and tears, or drink and faded memories. Thank you for enriching my path.

I have looked into things for a long time and gotten an answer. A step in the right direction and now... now I have no more answers. It is that moment when you've been answered, but have you? Have you really?

As well, I'd like to remind everyone that our paths are our own. We must choose. We must stand by our decisions. We must accept what comes when we make them. However, we are more than one decision. We are more than a slip of forethought. We are blessed. We are loved.

You, my dearest reader, are so loved. You are so unique. Even if you are a twin, you are different people. Different paths. Different experiences. This makes you amazing. Never forget that.

Relationship Note on Norwood

SQUEEEEEEEE!!

It's a mini horse... in a sweater...

You are the best Nor that ever Wooded, or the best Wood that ever Norred.

You are the best of so many things I'm not supposed to say because then your face turns red and you walk away and I get ponies, but really like the best of the best. I mean really best.

Um. I mean. Thank you

Sometimes someone tells you to make a list. Sometimes you think this is an amazing idea. The best of ideas. Sometimes you make that list. That time, you are not sorry.

I have felt many emotions. So many. It could swell up and explode sometimes. I have not felt truly jealous yet. Perhaps one day I shall feel that, perhaps. However, tonight with all the happiness around me I feel the mixture of things.

I am so elated to see the happiness poured upon the whites. I rejoice as people find their fit, their place, and show their oaths. The oaths of marriage that bind whole new lineages. The oaths that are spoken when one falls in love. The duty to their family and their fealties. I am overcome with all that Limerance touches and blesses. It makes it almost seem to radiate into my own life when such things are honored.

This is where I will stay, but there is always a touch of something more.

I feel regret. Not in any of these unions or in any of the happiness that spills across Arx as of late. I feel regret for moments I did not take. Friends I did not make. People I did not embrace and hold closer to me. I feel regret for those words I did not speak. This is not that I am sad, for I am rarely sorrowful. It is just perhaps what they mean by bittersweet.

Though, I cannot help but feel it overwhelmed in the over abundance of love and honor that I have read about. All of you make my heart full and my blood sing with your happiness as if it were my own. Thank you for allowing me to share in that. Thank you for allowing us all to share in that.

I am not normally angry. Yet, here I am for the second time this week.

How does one combat anger? To anyone reading, what do you do when you are angry to burn the energy?

Perhaps I should spar. Maybe that is my answer.
