Guess what, ducks, it's one more person to ask you questions.


Riddle me this: If you leave behind everything you know and let go of everything you've ever worked for, how do you start over?

Stop your belly-aching, fool... No man can leave himself behind.
Where you go, so goes your ability.

[gonnabe1st.livejournal.com]

Maybe not himself, but the things that define him, or have defined his life to this point. Not everyone is perfectly independent from their surroundings.

[angel-promise.livejournal.com]

Slowly. Piece by piece you have to reinvent your life. Day by day with gentleness.

[gonnabe1st.livejournal.com]

Where do you suggest one would start?

[gonnabe1st.livejournal.com]

Oh, it's that easy, is it?

[bittervictor.livejournal.com]

...I've built myself back up before. I... I guess I would do it again. Bit by bit. I'll survive; that's what I do.

[gonnabe1st.livejournal.com]

...not trying to offend you here, but how old are you, actually?

This one of those hypothetical games or is somethin' goin' down? Well, we'll treat it like the first. Start with money. You can get all the other resources with that. Secure yourself some survival and comfort basics.

[gonnabe1st.livejournal.com]

Let's keep treating it like the first option.
But let's stretch the imagination a little here. Can you picture what it'd feel like to lose the one thing that defines you? Can you imagine no longer wanting everything and then some? If you lost that part of yourself, then what?

[vengeful-virtue.livejournal.com]

...not easily. You plan, you think it over, but you push forward.

[gonnabe1st.livejournal.com]

What if you lose your sense of direction?

[unjust-siberian.livejournal.com]

... you just keep moving forward. It's all you can do, unless you just want to roll over and let yourself die.

[gonnabe1st.livejournal.com]

Where's this 'forward' place people keep suggesting to go, I wonder.

[no-wing-knight.livejournal.com]

Good question. I'm just going to go with what everyone else says and say just keep going forward.

[gonnabe1st.livejournal.com]

And here I got my hopes up.

Heh, thanks anyway.

[hands4healing.livejournal.com]

You stand up and walk forward.

[gonnabe1st.livejournal.com]

Nothing else to it, apparently.

[gonnabe1st.livejournal.com]

If that's possible.

[soyturpentine.livejournal.com]

Depends on how big a mess everything behind you is.

[gonnabe1st.livejournal.com]

Enough of a mess never to return.

[ironysoul.livejournal.com]

Mello?

[gonnabe1st.livejournal.com]

Al. What's up?

[exiled-honor.livejournal.com]

You find something you value in the new place, and work for it.

[gonnabe1st.livejournal.com]

Sounds like you've got experience on the matter.

[truthinfortune.livejournal.com]

You're still searching for a reason to stay, aren't you?

[gonnabe1st.livejournal.com]

All I'm looking for is something worthwhile to do.
