@everyone

Aurelius once wrote, "If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself, but to your estimate of it; and this you have the power to revoke at any moment."

My fundamental concern about this wisdom is that it fails to spot the physical root of trauma. People who cannot snap out of their distress also deserve compassion and treatment.

My apologies for the intrusion. Locals informed me about the recent chaos and I found myself concerned and a little hesitant about reaching out. Back home I treat those who approach me for support with their mental health. I had excellent resources there but here I can offer nothing but a listening ear.

I understand some of you might be feeling exposed, stressed and intimidated. To you I offer my own wisdom. If you worry about what lies ahead, you will be the only one who suffers in the end.

To all else, kind regards for listening.

Oh. Reading, isn’t it? This system is entirely new to me. What a brave new world this place is.

Not really.

Welcome, by the way. You probably won't get bored here, at least.

Well, I've already been through at least, like, three super fucked up things since I got here.

[...Yeah, about that.]
Like what?

Yeah, I do that already.

I mean, it's like...training. Hand to hand combat.

Like six months?

Not very long.

Sometimes it still feels like I just got here, and other times it feels like it's been forever.

Well

It's pretty cool that there's no legal drinking age.

I know, I'm not an idiot.

But thanks.
