The Echo of My Soul

From my childhood, I was living a mixed life. Was I blessed or was I cursed? I had a contrary view over my life. But I was never alone despite everyone around me abandoning me. Another voice was echoing through me, telling me to not be afraid. At one point, I almost succumbed into a life under the shadow, but someone eventually pulled me out of it and placed me under the spotlight. I thought I was freed forever, but the Echo told me that I was wrong. And it was all proven true on the day I discovered the true face of my beloved, who cheated on me without any shame. That day, I felt my world breaking apart. We were always together, I thought we would be together forever. Like some sort of beautiful fantasy. Silly, yet warm. Somewhere I could escape to. A home. It wasn't too much. But somehow, it all started that day. Or did it start before it? I don't remember. My memories are failing me. He told me I shouldn't stay. He told me I'll only get hurt no matter how I try to please him. He did not lie… Then, why did it hurt so much? Maybe because I truly loved him, seeing him with another had me broken to pieces. It wasn't fun, but… It wasn't the worst. That day, I finally decided. ‘Leave.’ It was as if a trigger had been pulled, and my life moved again in a hectic direction. I've met people I thought I won't be meeting again, and was stranded between so many fights of interests. I could only fight for myself there. This time, not only the Echo was with me. Another person was there, supporting me unconditionally. Giving me the confidence to move. Still, I will forever wonder… What choice is the right one? I guess I'll never know until I reach my destination.

Meaning of Revenge

Christ handed me some sweets while munching on some cookies himself, he looked at the files again and nodded. 

"I'm with you with anything you decide. Although shooting them off a building would be absolutely better."

"Pfft-"

I stifled a laugh, and grabbed the cookie from his hand. The sun was not that hot today, only slightly above 'warm' level. At the same time, I felt like jumping in the pool. 

The fresh water looked colder than the air around, my mind drifted to it, unable to focus on the matter at hand. 

"I agree, killing them like that would truly be amazing. But… Would it be satisfying enough?"

Most likely, no. Given how I am, it was only natural for me to like their misery in the long term instead of quick and clean death. 

"I guess it wouldn't, I understand that much. I'd want to rip my enemies apart instead of only shooting their hearts."
