Never say “other people have it worse”, even if it’s well-meaning. People are allowed to be sad, even if they have good things in life.
The concept of “other people have it worse” is such bullshit. Because with that logic only one single person in the world can feel bad.

“It is said a hero is only as good as their enemies. Thus, a good story has to have a well-written villain, somebody that earns respect. After all, what is a hero without a villain to challenge them?”
“Darkness always had its part to play. Without it, how would we know when we walked in the light? It’s only when its ambitions become too grandiose that it must be opposed, disciplined, sometimes—if necessary—brought down for a time. Then it will rise again, as it must.” Clive Barker, "Abarat"
The greatest Villain is not the one who covers the world on shadow; it is the one who bathes the world in light. For it is truth that we truly fear; the unknown can become the known, but once seen, never forgotten. -me
"'When I looked around I saw and heard of none like me. Was I, the, a monster, a blot upon the earth from which all men fled and whom all men disowned?'"- Frankenstein's Monster.
He walks along a path of stone,
His rags are torn, he's all alone,
Yet on he treks, unmoved by time,
The sacred, profane, or sublime.
His body tires, but his heart
Still has some strength to tear apart.
The earth may weep, the heavens cry,
But on he walks, and in his eye,
It doesn't matter what the time,
The weather, be it rain or shine.
His soul is strong, his spirit tough,
They stay firm, though the path is rough.
He walks along a path of stone,
His rags are torn, he's all alone.
A good roadie knows his whole job is to make someone else look good, keep someone else safe, help someone else do what they were put here to do. A good roadie stays out of the spotlight. If he’s doing his job right, you don’t even know he’s there. Once in a while he might step on stage just to fix a problem, to set something right. But then before you even realize he was there or what he did, he’s gone.
- Eddie Riggs, "Brutal Legend"
See the great thing about being evil is that instead of overcoming your inner demons, you get to put a saddle on them and ride your majestic winged demons of terror into battle to strike terror into the hearts of men!
Here is a list of terrible things,
The jaws of sharks, a vultures wings
The rabid bite of the dogs of war,
The voice of one who went before,
But most of all the mirror’s gaze,
Which counts us out our numbered days."- Clive Barker, Days of Magic, Nights of War
So I just woke up and my first thought was “what if in the four horsemen of the apocalypse, pestilence was one of those anti-vax moms?”
quite frankly the four white suburban soccer-moms of the apocalypse would scare me way more:
All muslims are terrorists you shouldn’t hang out with them at school” War
“Vaccines cause autism and homosexuality don’t get them!” Pestilence
“Timothy mustn’t eat gluten or calories, carbs will give you cancer!” Famine
“Mental illnesses aren’t real you just need to get over yourself” Death
WHEN DO YOU KNOW YOU ARE DONE FIGHTING?
WHEN THE SCREAMS OF YOUR ENEMIES CEASE.

When a boy calls you a goddess
Ask him which.
If the only names that come to mind
Are the pretty things they prance about Olympus;
Tell him you are not a token female.
Tell him that you will not gather cast away thrones
Like a widow gleaning wheat.
Tell him you would march up Olympus’s pretty white steps
And rip their crowns from their heads.
Become the godhead:
The Sky, The Ocean, And Hades all rolled into one.
Transfigure your way somewhere between all three.
Tell him you will raise up the primordial deities from their graves.
Because you are not threatened
By women who can wield power like a whip.
Olympus only looks immaculate from the ground darling.
Because up close their sins have filthied every floor.
And if you are a goddess
What does that make him?
Know this,
The Age of gods is ending,
And girls will paint the Dawn in blood.

We have at least one dramatic ancient story that illustrates the danger of hooking your house up to a public sewer in the first or second century AD. The author Aelian tells us about a wealthy Iberian merchant in the city of Puteoli; every night a giant octopus swam into the sewer from the sea and proceeded up through the house drain in the toilet to eat all the pickled fish stored in his well-stocked pantry.
