Tick, Tick, Tick

What drives you, dearest Scarlet? What makes you do the things that you do? I doubt you’ve ever really sat back and thought about it. Do not worry; I’ve done all the heavy lifting and analysis for you.

Would you like to know what makes you in particular, tick?

It is simple―it is your memories.

Your mind and your body has been put through a great deal of torment, my dear. it is very unfortunate. Most people put themselves in precarious positions; you, on the other hand, were tossed into positions, unwilling.

For that, I am sorry.

Your experiences have been traumatic, that much is certain. And now your brain is even more riddled, after the loss of your niece or nephew. Once again, you do not deserve the pain that you are feeling.

For that, I am sorry as well.

Nevertheless, you cannot allow this experience to break you. You say that you are strong? Then you must move past this. You are probably wondering just exactly one is supposed to move past this.

Do not fear, because I have answer to your question.

Scarlet, if you are ever going to grow, if you are ever going to have true peace, if you are ever going to live up to the potential that I see in you―then you must embrace.

Stop repressing things―release everything! That is what must be done.
