You are unwell at the moment. I know. While I usually rationalise to try to make sense of all these madness, you feel the effects most acutely for you emote.

I can’t profess that I know what’s bugging you. Perhaps it’s stress or the moon’s placement. It might even be the fall of the fortress where you’ve kept yourself locked up for so long that’s causing this vulnerability.

I know most times we’re at odds with each other. But you see, my cynicism was meant to shield from you from hurt. Forgive me if I’ve never given you enough time to grief or for your scars to recover fully. I was only trying to protect you for we’re kin. We are one residing in this body.

We’ve gone through many different eras and lifetimes, seen and experienced too much and we still have many challenges left ahead to face together.

I can only bid you courage. Do not fear.

Drench yourself with tears if you must. But don’t give up nor hide, don’t escape to that fortress and lock yourself within its walls again. Don’t lose hope or that innocence you hold so dear cos that’s how we complement each other through the ages.

Remember those times you were sad and I always found ways to encourage or cheer you up? This will be no different now and in the future.

Let’s not cling on to the what ifs and look ahead at what we can achieve. Beyond the disappointments, the lies and the hurt, there’s still joy out there for us to seek and revel in.

We will find a way out of this darkness. This shall soon pass you’ll see.

Till then, be brave.

With love,
Mind
