Avatar
I hade this made for you at the bookstore.
Avatar
Narrator BOT 12/12/2023 23:14
Crafted as a symbol of resilience for a soul marked by tragedy, this extraordinary bookmark emanates an aura of quiet strength and understated beauty. Its slender form is delicately wrought from darkened silver, etched with a motif of intertwining vines that symbolize growth and renewal. A single, ethereal moonstone, nestled within an intricately designed silver setting, radiates a soft, soothing glow. The bookmark's edges, though gracefully tapering, bear faint, carefully placed engravings resembling mended cracks, reminiscent of a shattered past healed with time and grace. This elegant accessory serves not only as a marker of pages but as a reminder of empowerment, inviting the troubled soul to find solace in the beauty that arises from overcoming adversity.

But I do not make anyone do anything. I have been in those shoes myself. Nobody will ever make me do anything I don't want to do ever again. I'd sooner die first. And I won't make you do anything you don't want to do either.

You'll get past that, It'll take some time, but nobody here is going to make you do that. Some will want you to, some might even ask you if you want to. But know that you can, say no. And nobody will be upset if you did. I might have my ego bruised, but that's about it.
