If you think the worst about those "what ifs", then you aren't going to find the things worth celebrating. Most of us have been through the worst of it. Why not build something good out of it? There's no war here. We can make the best out of that.

I suppose if I were to listen to anyone, it would've been the Professor.

That's.... a very optimistic outlook.

[That's it. That's all he can bring himself to say. Like... the very idea goes against everything he is.]

If you go looking for nothing but darkest shadows, you're never going to find the sun. All I had once was focusing on the things I could do. The things I could get through to survive, and think about what made me happy.

It's hard. I know it is. But if I didn't, I'd... well, I'd probably be no better than any bandit we've ever killed.

There have been a lot of times where planning for the absolute worst case scenario is the only reason I made it through something alive... it's really hard not to plan for the worst, even if I do hope things come out better than that.

I'm not saying don't be prepared. I'm saying that you can also look forward to certain things. Bernadetta's smile, a good meal, tea with a friend. Even just simple things like that can be enough to keep someone going.

[bottomless_bowl]

I guess I'm just used to having so many things to do and plan for there's never really been time to dwell on little things like that.

[shootyourshot]

And how much planning do you really need to do here?

[bottomless_bowl]

I don't know if you want that answer and it's not one I'm giving over the net, even on a locked message.

[shootyourshot]

Yeah, I think maybe I don't.

But think about what I said, okay? The little things, they really do build up into a good foundation.

[bottomless_bowl]

I will try. I've got a list of things to try to keep in mind.
