Shai-Hsien’s Journal: Entry Thirteen
Entry Thirteen:
What is it that makes up a person? Is it their hopes and dreams? Their skills and flaws? Or are we simply the sum of our decisions and actions. That is how history shall remember us. Motivations and intentions will be lost, and all that remains of us will be a dotted list of what we have done. That is how we would be remembered, but how would we remember ourselves? I suppose all our lives are leading up to is that moment where you are breathing your last breath and you think back on your life, and if you can say “Yeah, I’m okay with how that went.†then you succeeded in life. Does anyone die without regrets, does anyone even live without regrets? I guess its just a part of life.
I know what everyone thinks of me, and it is mostly true, but they aren’t in my position. They don’t have to make the decisions I do. We are all living a hard life, I know, but I just wish they could see that I’m doing the best I can. I think my heart is in the right place, and I guess no one understands my intentions but me. Guess I’ll just have to show them all what Shai-Hsien is all about! That old metal arm guy, Karraki, Ine’dan, one day they will all say “Whoa, that Shai-Hsien girl was totally awesome all along! Also whoa she is playing two violins at once because she has four arms now, I should shower her with money!†The future is bright alright.
Pirate Songstress Shai-Hsien’s official list of things to do:
1: Continue to be of the living. (I’m getting good at it.)
2: Keep Miharu of the living. (Most important thing.)
3: Become awesome! (Self explanatory!)
4: Grow two more arms. (Magic? Maybe pure willpower!)
5: Invent cannon cannons. (Karraki and I will go down in history as the greatest inventors of all time!)
6: I don’t know, become immortal or something. (I mean, it would be nice.)
7: Learn the difference between “demon†and “devil†(Seriously what is even…)
8: Think of more things for this list.
