《Rantings of the Broken》Update
Advertisement
Oh my goodness you guys it has been so long!
I am going to be completely honest, depression hits sometimes but never really as hard and never really as long, the temptation of suicide is gone, and I am able to appreciate friends and find the balance of having support without making them a dumping ground. I really am doing a lot better and I've figured some things out in my life. I guess I was bored today and wanted to reread my rants and oh my goodness, that was a roller coaster of emotions. I was not in a really good place and I just wanted to give you guys an update that I am doing okay! I am on the right medication and am currently seeing a therapist who helps me out a lot. I am doing a lot better than (from what I've read and experienced) what I was feeling back then.
I know the COVID19 virus has hit hard and fast and it's kind of thrown life for a loop. Schools have been made online, social distancing has been implemented, heck, I just helped host a wedding in my backyard on Friday. Even though it has been pretty hard, I will say that honestly, it's kinda helped my mental health. As you all are very much aware, I have/had a really low self esteem and I didn't like my self, like, at all. When talking to my therapist about this, she said that even though it may suck and be hard, this is the time where I have to face myself and where I can figure myself out. That has helped me so much. I have made a lot of progress and honestly, I feel a lot happier. I am doing a lot better and I have taken the drivers seat with Depression sitting in the back.

Back to me reading my rants again, I just want to say thank you for everyone who's commented and tried to help me out. As I've looked back, I realize that I've used a lot of your guy's advice to get to where I am now, even if I didn't realize it at first. You guys are so amazing and I can't even begin to say thank you for your willingness to help a struggling girl and show a path to bring her back to safety. I really appreciate it and I have faith in humanity that people really do care and want to help others who are struggling. Thank you so much.
This will be my last entry/chapter of the rantings of the broken. I may be struggling, but I don't feel so broken anymore. After reading everything, I just wanted to let the people who have been following these rants know that I am okay and have been living life. I hope everyone is doing okay with life despite its challenges and this closes the Ranting of the Broken.

Tethered Souls
All humans are connected to the ether, the realm of magic, by invisible, intangible tethers. Tethers are a reflection of humanity, and etheral magic resists what it is to be human. The more 'human' you are and display, the more your tether constricts, restricting the flow of ether. Utilizing ether draws out the human psych, making it extremely difficult to use ether dynamically and for long periods of time. Burning ether allows a person strength unlike any other, sharpens the mind more than any enhancement drug, and allows the person to directly influence the physical world around them.Hugh Perigrine is unique. Orphaned at the age of 1, Hugh is a ward of the Imperial Empire and an acolyte to the Imperial Library. For reasons unbeknownst to him, he does not experience the world in the same way as his peers. He doesn't care for the war with the rebel armies. He doesn't feel the need to vocalize complaints. He doesn't hunt for gossip and there is no object that he cares enough about to desire. He does not fantasize. He is simply unlike everyone else. But Hugh can see things that others cannot, and he understands impossible forces at work around him. Hugh's entire being is latent with etheral power, and he is at the forefront of what is thought of to be possible and impossible.There is however, something that Hugh covets - the meaning behind who he is, why he exists, and where he comes from.
