i'm in tears. do you know how beautiful this subversion of expectations irt death is to me. do you even understand how important it is. she's all warmth and love, always surrounded by vibrant displays of life - rather than the expected wither and decay. because death is not the antithesis to life: it is life. they are a part of each other. saying goodbye is always hard, but you have to let everything go, eventually. it's okay, it's not a punishment, it's not scary, it's not lonely - it's one last well-earned rest. releasing your borrowed energy back unto the universe so it can feed a new budding life, starting the cycle anew. and she's here to hold and cradle you until you're ready to go. you lived well. you were loved. sweet dreams, okay?

#IDK like #fear of death petrified me when i was younger and i spent an absurd amount of time agonizing over the concept #ironically wasted away a good number of my middle and high school years because i was just scared all the time #doing a lot of introspection and Thinking and realizing death is not something to fear was a weight off my shoulders #and it gave me a proper appreciation for life #hard to appreciate the delicate nature of your existence if you're too focused on what could end it #and yknow just. it's really nice. to see depictions of Death within stories that have positive connotations #castorice carries an air of grief but that's the nature of goodbyes. she's not bitter or cruel about it #it can be so hard to lay someone/something down to rest one last time but they've earned it. let them go #and continue on with your life. carry their memories forward with you until it's your turn to join them in that eternal sleep #don't rush. don't go seeking it out. enjoy how precious and fragile this universe is. never become apathetic to the beauty of life #that's what castorice embodies. and it's really . really lovely to see. ok :')
