What do you do when you don't think you really belong anywhere?

I mean, I can't fight off bad people, so what else is there? Is going around cheering up people enough?

I guess I have a lot to think about.

It may not seem like much, but cheering people up is important. It gives others the strength to face all the bad that there is.

[no_severedheads]

Well, yeah, I guess so, but it really doesn't seem important, not when you're looking at the whole picture, anyway.

[bloody_pens]

Hey, I can't beat up the bad guys either. But I've still found somewhere to belong. You have a place, too.

[no_severedheads]

But you could, if you had to. I don't know if I could do that, even though I'd want to, if it meant helping people.

[bloody_pens]

I dunno, I'm not so sure about that...

[galacticgeisha]

You know, simply being around and supporting those who are important to you is a lot more powerful than you might think. I can't fight off bad people either, and nobody has ever acted like that's a bad thing.

[no_severedheads]

So you don't ever feel like you're not as useful as everyone else?

[ruby_nova]

Not everyone can fight, and not everyone should. Fighting is scary and sometimes people get hurt. But not being able to fight doesn't mean you don't have a place here, Promise. It just means your place is different.

[no_severedheads]

I just haven't found that place yet, and I guess that's what's bothering me.

[ruby_nova]

I wish I could tell you what it was but I don't know. Everyone is unique. Although, part of your place is to be with Derrick and help him out, right?

[After a loooong pause]

Do you want me to teach you some martial arts? For self-defense only, though! Having something to learn can help you focus, and that might help you feel better.

[uphissleeve]

I can't fight either, but my big brothers can! There has to be something else you can do that they can't.

[no_severedheads]

Probably... It's just figuring out what that is.

By the way, I don't think I've seen your writing before. I'm Promise.
