《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.

Sweet Minds
"No one can see it, some can feel it, and only the few can use it. We belong to the few." Marith Merryfield felt anything but merry that morning. She found herself waiting for a delayed train on a deserted platform, in the freezing cold of the Dutch autumn. Just when the strangeness is making her consider turning around and going back home an empty train rolls into the station. For reasons unclear to this day she decides to get onboard. An unlikely, and quite impossible, train accident is about to hurtle her into a world she had always suspected existed. It was a dark and absurd place she had rejected and suppressed when she was young. Now she would need that dormant part of herself to survive. After a brief hospitalization she must choose between two continents and finds herself reluctantly boarding a plane to Oregon to be reunited with her shadows. She returns to the town she grew up in, which is where her father still lives and her childhood memories linger. By the end of the week the mysterious train accident turns out to be the least of her problems. Her life was never supposed to become this serious this fast. Through an improbable and unfortunate series of events she is soon introduced to a motley crew of characters that appear to be carrying the same struggles through life. They possess a familiar sense of inadequacy and insecurity. Marith realizes that for the first time in her life she has found herself a tribe, or, as they prefer to call it, a Chain. She is introduced to a world of Prophets, Runners and Mages led by an Oracle and a Watchmaker. Over the course of several weeks Marith learns that, together with her Chain, she is expected to save this fabric of reality, by fighting a mysterious and immortal creature and his aggressive pet. In order to have a chance at overcoming this force of nature she has to revisit the darkest and most desolate corners of her mind. ***** The total word count of the first 12 chapters amounts to about 85.000 words. The total word count of the first 30 chapters will amount to about 225.000 words. My chapters range, roughly, from 5.000 to 10.000 words. I post with irregular intervals, on random days and at different times. I hope you will enjoy the story! English is not my first language and I am very much open to constructive criticism. Disclaimer: I regularly use impressionistic or abstract language on purpuse, when I think it might benefit the story.
