I only wanted you to see that no matter how big your mistakes are, there is always a way to turn them around. To understand that the only time mistakes and wrong paths turn into failures are when you don't try again. You have so very much to offer. Even in the face of so many terrible things, you're an inspiration to so many. To me, even. You are a brilliant light in this dark, dark world I've brought about, and I wouldn't have it be anyone else.
Maybe. But there's those mistakes where you either do or say the wrong thing and you can't take it back because it's already out in the open, the damage is already done. Haha, really? I'm an inspiration? To you? How so?
Well .. there is only one me, right? c: so I'll do my best to spread my light to the world and just hope for the best. I guess that's all I can really do.
So before I interrupted your morning bombarding your phone with texts, what were you doing?
You are an inspiration because you never give up. No matter what you face, you keep going, and you've overcome impossible things. Which is exactly why I know you can get through whatever this is. Even if the damage is done, you can still repair it.
The Japanese have a word. Kintsukuroi. It means to make a thing more beautiful for having been broken and repaired. The golden seams make it beautiful and unique. A work of art created from tragedy. The damage may have been done, Barry, but it gives you a chance to repair it. To make things stronger and better than they were before.
Well, now I feel bad. Taking up all your time that could've been better spent doing something else than keeping me company.
But I've said so many terrible things when that metahuman controlled me with anger. I can't take it all back, everyone should hate me.
I think it's because it's failure that really scares me. Pushes me to do better, try harder. (Sighs) You sure have a way with words, it's a beautiful perspective you have. I wish I had as much faith as you have of me. It gets really hard.
