What does rebirth mean to you?:
"It means starting over, though sometimes I fear my own rebirth. Being a demon form me doesn't mean what others think it means. It just means that when I died, a demon gave me one of the souls it stole to keep me alive. From my rebirth though, I fear that I might never be understood. It a chance for me to continue going on with my life, but I doesn't matter to me if no one likes me, because they think I'm evil. I'm not. Bitter, but not evil. So rebirth, well it's me, it's what I am."
How could this knitten help someone?: Since Myrinus has anxiety about his own existence, it would help him directly. While he comes off as a grump, even he could see the use of something that would reassure other and comfort others. He's not sure what he's doing with his life, so being able to comfort others might be in his interest. For himself, it would be something to calm his lonely existence. From him, it could help other see that he is not evil, but someone will to help other.

What does rebirth mean to you//
Rebirth is something that I ponder. I am of no religious alignment, and do not believe in any greater power or reincarnation or even the soul itself. This makes the topic of rebirth tricky to work around. Despite my lack of faith in anything godly, I am what many would call a spiritual atheist. Now, enough of the preamble, lets move on to the amble.

Most people live their entire lives trying to deny that they will die. This is a constant in life, just like the ebb and flow of time, and the fact that people cannot escape the inevitable. Rebirth for me is not the recreation of the soul. It is not a second life after death. I don't believe that someone can be born anew, transform into something else and walk away from their past actions with no consequences, but I believe that people can change. For me, rebirth is the cleansing of the soul,

The man is afraid of many things. That, he will not deny.
The man however would like to pretend he is fearless. He wrings his hands, runs his fingers through his hair, as if he could change the world by doing nothing. He shakes his head, the glow from the screen of his phone harsh in the nights air. Beside him, something else glows brightly. He sighs, and sits up from his bed. He can see Helios curled besides him, and smiles lightly. The man reaches down and gently scratches the knitted creature behind the ear, and smiles at the soft purr that resonates through his hand.

I want to begin by saying that this competition was very hard to judge.
Before you post your congrats, please keep in mind that some people have told sensitive stories to them, that they may wish not be commented on.

You're all such beautiful people, and whether you are in a dark place right now, on the route to healing, or have healed, I wish you all the best. You're all deserving of this knitten, and you're all deserving of goodness and happiness. If you ever need anyone to speak with, I'm open to conversation.

The winner of this knitten is Unleashed Squid. I think your story was very poetic, and symbolic, however had a very
delicate meaning, and was very touching.

Congratulations, and I hope that even if this knitten can only be won by one person, confessing and speaking of your life may have brought some things into light that you hadn't noticed before.

You're all very strong individuals, you're gonna go far, even if it takes a couple times rebirth.

Oh my goodness thank you so much. This was such an incredible surprise to wake up to and it made my entire day. Your message was so sweet and it was an such honor to enter this contest.

A message I always like to live by is this: Even if today seems to be dark, keep hope, because dawn will rise. Thank you! c:
