“Time passes by you like a bullet,鈥 he says, 鈥渁nd fear gives you the excuses you鈥檙e craving to not do the things you know you should. Don鈥檛 doubt yourself, don鈥檛 second-guess, don鈥檛 let fear hold you back, don鈥檛 be lazy, and don鈥檛 base your decisions on how happy it will make others. Just go for it, okay?”

“I painted stars and the moon and clouds and just endless, dark sky.鈥 I finished the sixth, and was well on my way sawing through the seventh before I said, 鈥淚 never knew why. I rarely went outside at night鈥攗sually, I was so tired from hunting that I just wanted to sleep. But I wonder 鈥 鈥 I pulled out the seventh and final arrow. 鈥淚 wonder if some part of me knew what was waiting for me. That I would never be a gentle grower of things, or someone who burned like fire鈥攂ut that I would be quiet and enduring and as faceted as the night. That I would have beauty, for those who knew where to look, and if people didn鈥檛 bother to look, but to only fear it 鈥 Then I didn鈥檛 particularly care for them, anyway. I wonder if, even in my despair and hopelessness, I was never truly alone. I wonder if I was looking for this place鈥攍ooking for you all.”
