The soundtrack for To The Moon, an indie game from 2011 and so far the only video game story to get me openly weeping! An utterly beautiful adventure/mystery game with a perfectly nostalgic soundtrack that I highly recommend.

Gosh, me too... It can be hard to find light in one's life, I'll admit that pretty quick, especially when things are going wrong - but even when it's going well, the brain has a way of inflating small problems to take the place of the big! Such a terrible conundrum.

Happiness and sadness; love and grief; to have and to lose; they're a package deal, evolutionary gifts to deal with living in a broken world, valuable assets to a healthy and well-balanced human being no matter the background, no matter the age. I am sad, and I am happy, and all in all I love life.

Sadness is closely intertwined with things like loss and grief, and it's what I like to call the other side of love. It's the price we pay for anything we happen to hold dear, and y'know what? Overall, I quite think it's worth it, no matter how dearly bought. I'm reminded of a poem I found:

If the world was perfect, everybody would be happy all the time, and nobody would have a problem with that. But it isn't, so we need "negative" emotions (emphasis on the quotations here) as adaptations to help us survive and thrive in an imperfect world. To me, sorrow is the most beautiful of them.

Shit, I've been caught!

Hello, hello again! ^v^

Today was uneventful for the most part, in a good way! I spent some time with my siblings, which was great as we don't all hang out too often. I've started a new Minecraft save wherein I'm taking my time and just letting myself breathe. It's hard to slow down sometimes, but I'm learning how!
