41st Devotion: Contemplating the Past

[favoritetraitor]

[Filtered away from Saya]

Is there such a thing as redemption for the past? Can a person ever progress beyond what life has handed them? Or are they forever stained beyond any hope of forgiveness of their circumstances...

An idle thought, but one which I would be interested in hearing others opinions about...

Mr. Fujimiya, I'd like to order a bouquet of Red Tulips to be sent to the following address.

I think...I used to think people pretty much had set paths, had to do the best with whatever they had, whatever they were. Now, I guess I think it's possible to choose another path.

Any particular reason for your change of heart on the matter?

Being here, I guess--and having my friend Penny around. I mean, I think it's given me some perspective. Especially having friends who challenged me to think about what I was doing and who believed I could change. I'm not convinced I was wrong, the way I was before, but my priorities are different now.

Redemption's not what I'm talking about, though. I mean, I guess it depends if you think redemption is something you actually need or want.

You wish to be a better man? Is it for this Penny, you mention? A worthwhile endeavor for anyone... I too... if Saya would only see me for who I am.

I don't know about better, just...better for her. Maybe better. I don't know yet. We'll see.

Ah, so it is over a woman... the eternal muse of inspiration for mankind.

I do wish you the best of luck, then...

[horrible-phd.livejournal.com]

Yeah...

Thanks. Good luck with whatever prompted all this.

Merely contemplations... nothing more.
