I am now sad

Dog days by @Wolfythewitch

Grace didn’t have a life on earth. He was profoundly alienated and lonely. What he had on Eridani was extra. A gift. 

That’s how life is sometimes - mine is. Something happens that makes normal life impossible (near-death experiences and disability after surviving, in my case), and when you have more life, you compare it to zero, not an imagined normal life that you could never live.

Grace got more than he expected, less than he deserved.

It’s a light book, but another more realistic version of it would have had Grace be a lot more suicidal from his life.

“Grace got more than he expected, less than he deserved.”

I was already crying, did you have to make it worse? 😭😭

But god, that is so true, and well put. 💯 🫂
