Curious Thoughts - A Wizard's Tears

Last night, I put on He Man to soothe me to sleep, and as I drifted off to the L.O.N, I saw a story I never want to forgive anyone for, set to music from the above video: Orko wandered places around a town on Earth, even an empty park, because He Man had treated him in a cruel manner. Eternia was such a cold-hearted and horrid place to him, and that's why he was alone. At last, he broke down into tears and began to cry, but luckily, Furaha was there to comfort him, and the two shared a hug that even brought Furaha to silent, yet happy tears.

Didn't some old Disney story say, "It's through our tears that we find another way?" I wanted to cry when I woke up first thing, because the song in the video above was so emotional. It made me think of how awful life was today, and how we all want to go back to when we were kids - some caregivers to protect us and keep us safe. But as I got older, I experienced mental health issues and negativity, and I resorted to slice of life moments between my characters because I wanted to go back to when I was a kid - minus all the stereotypical things that make the AgeRe genre.

But you must know this: when we cry due to the emotional weight we experience from growing up, we're actually smiling inside. We feel that secret smile from the moment we shed our first tears, and it's telling us we're finding joyful things inside the saddest moments of our lives. All the times I cried, I felt myself smiling inside - and that's a reminder that, in the future, anxiety, negativity and mental health issues will be caused by two words: perfectionism and publicity.

However, only last month I discovered that the P words don't matter to me anymore, because I don't need a job. All I need is the simple life I wanted - making handmade books is okay, but publishing?

NO WAY!

"Sometimes, it's through our tears that we find another way."

-The narrator of The Ballad Of Nessie
