kurunthokai, 168 — “what the hero said to his heart”

I have the words "rage" and "hope" tattooed on my knuckles and there's a great deal of things I could say about that that would most certainly sound very pretentious but that I mean on the deepest, truest and most personal level but to summarize it I will say this:

To me rage and hope are two of the driving forces of this world. I think as a society we tend to demonize rage. It's seen primarily as a violent and harmful thing but to me it absolutely is not. Rage is to see a status quo, a "this is how things are" and go "absolutely the fuck not".

Rage is to see how you are being treated, to see how this world operates and to decide you think its cruel, unnecessarily so, and that you won't tolerate it anymore. Rage is, put simply, the emotion of "I am not okay with this" and as exactly that its a driving emotive force that inspires us to ACT and try and change how things are.

Hope is the second driving force I see. Hope is to see how things are, get pissed off and think "we could be better". Things could be better, things could be less cruel, we could live a different way. We could NOT be in pain.

Rage is seeing things and realizing they are bad. Hope is seeing bad things and realizing they could be better.

Kel is the root of my orange obsession <3 I’ve been watching Omori play-throughs because I miss the kids. When I watch the Final Duet, I sob

thinking of a friend of mine, where our friendship began in the depths of our individual self loathing and guardedness. to have fought through gritted teeth and years of pain to get to where we are. and now to beam with light and celebrate with one another how far we’ve come. proud of each other and proud of ourselves. this is the part of growing up and growing older i didn’t think i’d ever get to see. i’m glad i stuck around.

please, never hate me
