I don't really like doing that announcement thing, but since I'm her roommate... Snow White's gone home! Which is good, that means she's finally back with James, who's her total love at first sight wonderful husband and she has a daughter that maybe she'll get to see now so I'm happy for her. Right, and Al left too, but that was last month. Uh... a few others, but I don't really know the full list.

It makes me curious about something else, though. What do you guys do to show you remember and care about people who you'll probably never see again in this lifetime?

I'd like to hear one, yeah. That's pretty cool, that you write things like that!

[miiracles]

...cool? Thank you. I don't share them often. [ Most of them are a bit on the sad side, but it does help her remember people and events. ]

One of them goes like this:

She wasn't discouraged nor did she cry at her fate.
She was beautiful.

She didn't fawn anyone and fought them all by herself.
She was noble.

She shined brightly, like a divine figure.
I needed someone like her.

That's nice! I feel like... they meant something good to you. I don't know a lot about poetry, but that's what it sounds like to me. I like the sound of your friend in that one!

[miiracles]

Mii. You're right. She was a really precious friend. She wasn't someone from this world, but from my world.

When I think more about it though, it doesn't remind me of just her... but others I've met here. They're really brave.

[whatsupcroc]

I bet you're pretty brave too. The people here are amazing! I mean, there's so many wonderful people I've met, who've done some amazing things. They're seriously the best!

[miiracles]

...mii. I don't think I'm very brave. I'm nothing compared to a lot of people here. [ There's far too many things that she's afraid of. ] Maybe you could keep a diary about those people that left... and the amazing things they did. It doesn't have to be poetry like I do.

[whatsupcroc]

Why are you comparing yourself to others? If you're brave, you're brave. You don't need to be more or less brave than the people around you, that's not exactly how it works. Being brave for yourself is still an important thing, just like being able to laugh at yourself! Or take things seriously.
