The Fish, Wise-Guy, Buddy Ol Pal O Mine

[Absence]

"I got to see something great, Samina. No matter what comes to you. You treat them like family. Friends and even more willing to kill for them. So many people are racist towards me for being a Sirenian? Or... as they like to call me a Fish. But you? You're like a true friend. It's weird. Though I've come to understand a lot more from you even tho we're the same age. I'm sorry I failed you that one time. I'll make up for it eventually. Probably when I'm stronger and wiser in the world. It's tough out here Y'know?

"Seeing you at my age lead monsters! Now that is crazy! Cool! But, crazy still. I even know some more crazy people, smiling at me in my face as we're fighting to harm each other. Like huh? Even seeing my own kind not willing to go to water?! Like what's going on! Seriously a lot of stuff isn't making any sense. But you? You're crazy but, you make sense."

"Now I'm doing things differently. More subtle and with an open mind. I feel like I've already made mistakes? At the same time I feel like I'm on the right path! Or not... who knows? Well, people do know they just probably laugh at me and say things behind my back. Most say it to my face though! Not like I'll do much about that. Someone even said I have no back bone! When I was just showing respect. Which is weird...? I should fight people who do me wrong, which makes sense. But! I'm not fighting someone who didn't harm me and just said words. That is a quick way to get yourself into some crap. I'm too young to die or deal with that stuff. I have so much I want to do and see!"

"I should find a better way to keep thoughts..."

A loud crash was heard.

"Uh.. I mean't to do that! I think..."

"Older, yet things seem to be slightly the same. New faces popping up. New things to do around. I got a steady idea of what to do for myself. Though, it seems that inevitable loop is catching me. I see friends all around doing their own thing. I'm doing my own as well. But I just can't seem to shake off that feeling of going in circles. I'm not afraid of it. I'm confused on how to change it."

"It's not just me either, the same people I follow. The same people I look towards for guidance. They're stuck going through those same revolving doors. I hope as I grow. I learn even more from those around me. I learned to heal people. Yet I learned how to hurt them more. I see those around me making the same terrible choices they tell me not to make. Yet because they're older or in a better position I guess they feel entitled to be hypocrites."

"I did learn something though that will stick with me forever. The only other thing in this world that's as free as the Ocean itself?"

"Is being stupid, oblivious... or dead."
