Shimmering Thunder


Because there is sadness, we cherish happiness. And because there is anger, kindness is born.

    Another update

    I probably shouldn't say this, but I'm making good progress. I have written almost four new chapters in a few days. From finishing Chapter 9 to the beginning of Chapter 14, which is probably going to be the last chapter for this part. Considering how long I have been working on this already, this is major progress.

    Update

    I just wanted to say that I'm still working on the sequel to The Power Within. I haven't abandoned writing or this site. I recently got over a major roadblock in my story. However, this doesn't mean that I will publish anything anytime soon. But I still uploaded all the chapters here just in case I need to press the button. I had a small situation irl that made me come back to this project again.

    The poet of darkness

    You failed me,
    My trust you defiled.
    You hurt me,
    My heart you stabbed.

    Give me a reason,
    To forgive...

    My soul you crushed,
    It made me bleed.
    My smile you erased,
    It made me cry.

    Give me a reason,
    To forget...

    Here in the dark,
    Alone and afraid.
    Here in the night,
    Fragile and drained.

    Give me a reason,
    To trust again...

    I'm feeling lost.

    I know I haven't been updating for a long time or anything. I'm just very tired at the moment. I feel like I'm at the end of my rope here. I'm just so tired of everything and everyone. This world. I'm struggling to keep finding any reason to smile anymore. I'm just so bitter, unhappy, depressed and sad all the times. And I have no idea what to do to fix everything. And nobody cares. Nobody listen

Today, I met somebody · 5:06pm Sep 1st, 2017

I was planning to write a blog about something I have been wondering for a quite some time now, but today happened something very unusual and I want to write about that instead.

I'm very shy and quiet person and don't go out that much. However, as It's a weekend I think it'd be nice to get something special. I walk to the closest grocery store, buy some food and chips and start my way back home. For some reason, I take a different route than usual. The plan was to find out whether this route was any quicker or not. On the halfway back home, I see this man walking across the street and notice him starting to walk toward me.

I hope he doesn't say or do anything - For God's sake, he could as well be robbing me so I try to walk a tad faster and pay no attention to him. However, he then walks to me and asks if I could help him. His appearance immediately makes me think he wasn't doing that good in life. Because it's really hard for me to be rude and say no to somebody just for my own comfort and because I feel bad for the guy, I ask what it is that he needs. He starts explaining to me that he's not from this town and that he needs some money for a bus ticket and that his trustee* has been stealing his money from his bank account.

*I have no idea if this is a correct term for what I'm looking for but it's a kind of person who's responsible for other person money and such. It was all google translator would give me... :facehoof:

To my relief, this person didn't act negatively toward me in any way. He asked if I had 5 euros for the bus ticket. I said I'll check my wallet if I had anything. Frankly, I didn't know myself because I almost never use any cash. Surprisingly, there was 45 euros, 2x20e and one happily smiling 5 euro note.

I give the man 5 euro and he then thanks me from the bottom of his heart and wishes me God's blessing and all. Afterwards, he starts cursing his trustee for stealing his money or something. He also told me that he was coming from this small church that was nearby and told me that they had helped him a lot as well.

So I wished the man all the best as well and continued my way back home. As I looked behind, I saw the person actually going toward the bus station (or toward the state run alcohol store which is conveniently located in the same direction, but who knows). I was simply thankful that I actually had that 5 euro note for the poor guy because I didn't want to lie to him for not having any cash. What if he actually wanted to see if I was lying? Giving him what he wanted was the best way to get away from the situation safely.

Now, I know there's a really high chance that he actually spends that money on either narcotics, booze, cigarettes, or something else, but I don't really care. I can give a person 5 euros if it makes him leave me alone. I'm almost certain he was lying to me, but at least he didn't try to harm me and for that alone, he deserved the money. These type of situations are not very common where I live. This is just a small town compared to some places where you might be from.

I just hope that I actually helped this man getting somewhere. (no pun intended. :rainbowlaugh: )
