☀️ Arselia and Akonia

After carefully listening to this monologue, which turned out to be much more profound than expected, Myco falls into deep thought, and then finally says:
- I would like to dispel all your sorrows with one or two snappy motivational phrases, the kind you can find in crumpled pocket books, but in reality, there are no simple recipes. For better or worse, life is a difficult, yet absolutely natural form of the soul's existence in what we call the material world. It is not linear in nature - it has no predetermined path, and its ups and downs depend on the specific subjective perception of it. The life of the vast majority of people is filled with short-term and long-term difficulties and represents a burden. And yet, they do not die out, but continue to exist, and quite successfully, conquering new territories, inventing new machines, producing new goods - all that is commonly associated with the success of civilization as we know it. They do all this not because conquering, inventing, and producing is their deepest dream, but because these are the laws of the life that has been offered to them and their own nature. The dualism of human essence lies in the simultaneous desire to both escape difficulties and overcome them head-on. An old man who has achieved everything he wanted in life and has retired will not enjoy the fruits of his labor in peace - he will die of old age and illness, while a grumpy, hundred-year-old shopkeeper, trading in groceries and bending his back every day, will outlive some of his customers and will be happy in his own way throughout this story. And the dream? It's just a bonus to life, making it more enjoyable. Few people have it; most prefer to drift on the waves like a splinter, - Aiyano sighed. - What is your dream if you were to translate it into reality? Well, for example, to play the main role in the largest play, to get on the front page of the newspaper. Repeat this n times. But life is not a book, and it doesn't end there. What then? The fact is that after achieving your dream, you will have memories of this happiness, which will warm your soul in especially cool seasons. Thus, the concrete realization of a dream is not an end in itself for life, but something that gives you energy to move forward and reflect in the future. For now, you are in the first half of this journey - the dream is somewhere ahead, so far away, but at the same time so close. Try to turn all your sadness, bitterness, regret, ambition, and thoughts about a bright future into a creative impulse. After all, it is believed that true masterpieces are not born in a favorable environment, - the woman fell silent, then sighed. - I apologize. I started with contempt for motivational speeches, but it seems that in the course of reasoning, I myself followed the same path. ... Nevertheless, my heart feels the correctness of this approach, - sitting on a bench with her interlocutor, Aiyano mindlessly twirled in her hands an ordinary store discount platinum card from another planet, with nine names scratched on it with a nail. - In the future, you will remember these hardships as something that you successfully overcame despite everything, and this will temper your character. The very fact that you are here and alive now, unlike your acquaintance, speaks to the fact that fate has saved you from further self-destruction through actions contrary to your nature. And true love? I implore you. Look in the mirror - you are a young, attractive girl, and your heart is in the right place; otherwise, you would not be so tormented by this situation. There will be someone who will share your feelings in their most noble manifestations.
Aiyano lets her words settle, then adds:
- For your own peace of mind, I recommend that you undergo a cleansing ritual. It is not long and not difficult, and it will ward off the evil forces that despair may have attracted. For this, it is better to move a little further into the park.
