I’m reading past journals from both you and Owen trying to grasp it all and come up with an answer. I could understand on some level that you are probably the best one to protect Owen if something were to happen. But on the other hand I’m not okay with more scars adding on to the old ones.
So I guess my question is this, Do you still plan on keeping him alive?
What you find in my journal and in his is merely the tip of the iceberg, as the saying goes. I don't expect you to understand it. Am I really hurting Owen when he doesn't feel any pain? He has never asked me to stop. His scars are a work of art. I am merely adding a few new brush strokes.
Yes, I plan to keep him alive. I wasn't sure of that at first, but I'm certain of it now.
Sorry if it seemed like I was lashing out at you or anyone else . For some reason I felt the need to defend Owen, even though we are all complete strangers. I cannot really say what came over me at that moment. The way Ian described it made the motherly instinct come out I think. When I said 'you know what to do', what I meant was do whatever you feel is right. That is the same advice I'd give anyone. I generally try to be impartial.
I have children his age, who aren't children anymore but still I'm mortal and hence fallible. Still honestly I don't think any of it is right, but what is right when you are dealing with an ancient immortal? I also don't think it was right for Ian to have forced Owen to do anything either.
Still I am human and I care about humanity. I believe in balance,there is always a balance.
Never apologize for stating your opinion, Whiteroses. I'm not easily offended.
You can relate to Owen on a level which I cannot. That much is true. You are both bound to this mortal world and I can understand your desire to defend him. However, Owen is not a child. His inexperience makes him seem far younger than he is, but if the age in your profile is correct, he is older than you.
While I do not ask his permission to do the things I do to him, he has never once objected.
The balance you seek in all of this cannot be found from the outside looking in.
All right, I'll say another thing: please, please go to Owen. I'm not about to speak for him, but his posts clearly show that he's upset. I understand you're going through a thing too, but I don't know that completely removing yourself from his life for days at a time without communicating what's going on even a little is a good idea. At the very least leave him money or something so he can take care of himself, and arrange for someone to pick up that bluefin since it's rotting.
