It's a beautiful day, City. Make the most of it.

I need your advice. I'm looking for something to read, something that isn't poetry. Knowing I can't just makes me want to read more! Anything, really. Novels or essays or, I don't even know, so long as you like it.

Call it a change in perspective.

There are a hundred thousand lines that'd suit today and I can't remember one. Still. It's a small price to pay.

Pardon my lateness too. I um. Read this notif while half-asleep and forgot /)_- doh

[had_not_lived]

I trust your recommendations.

You don't think it's a beautiful day?

You'remore than forgiven. <3

[absinthe-eyed.livejournal.com]

Thank you.

It's no more beautiful than any other day.

/curls on <33

[had_not_lived]

Well, that's true. And I guess, part of why I said it.

[absinthe-eyed.livejournal.com]

I don't understand.

[had_not_lived]

Every day is a beautiful day, at least in some way. If you don't recognize that then you can't make every one extraordinary.

[absinthe-eyed.livejournal.com]

I won't challenge your unfounded optimism by arguing against that.

[had_not_lived]

I don't believe it's unfounded.

[absinthe-eyed.livejournal.com]

Did something remarkable happen when I wasn't looking?

[Because, of course, no one can just decide to be happy. Psh.]

[had_not_lived]

If it had, would you take what I said more seriously?

[absinthe-eyed.livejournal.com]

It's not out of the realm of possibility.

[had_not_lived]

Then something remarkable happening while you weren't looking is also within the realm of possibility.

[absinthe-eyed.livejournal.com]

Really?

[had_not_lived]

Entirely.

[absinthe-eyed.livejournal.com]

What happened?

[had_not_lived]

Someone gave me my life.

[absinthe-eyed.livejournal.com]

Literally?

[had_not_lived]

In a box. I suppose it might be truer to say a life.

[absinthe-eyed.livejournal.com]

You and Todd both...? Half a life each?

[had_not_lived]

I broke the deal we'd made with the Deities, so he has his own back. And then I got mine.

[absinthe-eyed.livejournal.com]

Oh.

Congratulations. To both of you.

I am off to beeeedddddddd <3 gnight bb

[had_not_lived]

Thank you. Are you-

Sleep well! <33

[absinthe-eyed.livejournal.com]

What did you trade? For your life?

[had_not_lived]

I only traded to break the deal. Poetry, for a time.

[absinthe-eyed.livejournal.com]

Poetry.

Good. That's good. For both of you.

[had_not_lived]

It's... miraculous.
