As I walk towards the end of the world, I look back into the past to see what I could have done differently, but there’s nothing I can do now, my past has been written, for now I wait to see what the future holds. I stand on the edge, wanting to jump, wanting to dive into the world anew, and wishing that Harmony will follow me through. I close my eyes, inhale deep, and try not to think about how the edge of the world is indeed very steep. I lean forward accepting my fate, ready to enter through Hell’s studded gates. But as I leaned forward something grabbed my shoulder, pulling me back, a young girl stood behind me, covered in black. “You fool”, she whispered, “You wish to end your life”? “You wish to end it all”? “Why”?
“My life bears no meaning, my heart covered in black, my soul has left me, and my mind begins to crack”. “I have walked many miles to the edge of the world, so that I may try a feeble attempt to make it all leave me alone”
“You’re heart isn’t black, mind isn’t cracking, it’s expanding, seeing life in a new way, your soul still travels with you, and your life does have meaning, you just simply haven’t found it, but you will, in due time, you will find your purpose.” Now enough with this nonsense, enough with the pity, step away from the edge and begin your new journey”.
“Your words are strong, but for me they have no meaning. My life is at its end and I indeed enjoyed your speech, but this life has nothing for me, so I will leap over the edge, and you will watch me, but first I must know your name”
“My name is Harmony and I will follow you through, regardless if your listen to my words, I will always be with you”
“It’s time to say goodbye Harmony, and it was a pleasure to meet you”
