titanseed troia has so much angst potential. like. you were raised to save the gods. the gods erased your memories and dumped you on another planet, allegedly to protect the people of the planet from you. one of your sisters tries to kill them as a result of this. you saved the gods anyway. you died. the gods, who are also your parents, use you as a weapon and manipulate you. leave your sister they manipulated to die.

The Fire

by Mary Oliver

That winter it seemed the city was always burning -- night after night the flames leaped, the ladders pitched forward. Scorched but alive, the homeless wailed as they ran for the cold streets. That winter my mind had turned around, shedding, like leaves, its bolts of information -- drilling down, through history, toward my motionless heart. Those days I was willing, but frightened. What I mean is, I wanted to live my life but I didn’t want to do what I had to do to go on, which was: to go back. All winter the fires kept burning, the smoke swirled, the flames grew hotter. I began to curse, to stumble and choke. Everything, solemnly, drove me toward it -- the crying out, that’s so hard to do. Then over my head the red timbers floated, my feet were slippers of fire, my voice crashed at the truth, my fists smashed at the flames to find the door -- wicked and sad, mortal and bearable, it fell open forever as I burned.

“I can always do better. I’m not sure what answers I got today, I’m not sure right now it matters. I’ll just keep fighting the good fight and I’ll pray someone’s life will be just a little better because of it.”

“To be hopeful in bad times is not just foolishly romantic. It is based on the fact that human history is a history not only of cruelty, but also of compassion, sacrifice, courage, kindness.

What we choose to emphasize in this complex history will determine our lives. If we see only the worst, it destroys our capacity to do something. If we remember those times and places—and there are so many—where people have behaved magnificently, this gives us the energy to act, and at least the possibility of sending this spinning top of a world in a different direction.

And if we do act, in however small a way, we don’t have to wait for some grand utopian future. The future is an infinite succession of presents, and to live now as we think human beings should live, in defiance of all that is bad around us, is itself a marvelous victory.”
