What does rebirth mean to you?: It can be meant in many ways. It may be literal, starting from scratch once again after death, or it mean becoming a better person by amending past mistakes. Or, maybe starting a new life and leaving the past completely behind for a better future. Rebirth is a chance to try again after you've fell, and to get back up again after a time of healing, as some things are inevitable no matter how you try to prevent it as not everyday is sunshine, but you can see the rainbow when the rain ends. To me, rebirth is a chance to shine once more.
How could this knitten help someone?: At the beginning of this year, things started to fall apart. For the first time in years, I managed to become friends again with an old friend that had moved away but was now back, and she wasn't doing so well and then I started noticing things. Lots of friends were drifting away at an alarming rate, and I couldn't talk to them due to differing schedules that wouldn't work out, and then the friends I was still able to contact were starting to fight a lot. Everyone was going different ways, and even with new friends they drifted also. I never really handled it well to be honest, and even before that I had years worth of pain that I never told anyone in fear to them not understanding. This, combined with the past pain soon spiraled into fear and paranoia and at that time I couldn't hold onto trust. By the time I finally told a counselor, it was a huge relief and I was on the verge of breaking apart completely. If Rin was with me, they'd encourage me to tell the truth knowing that they'll support me no matter what and also push me so I could achieve what I wanted, and to let go of the past and finally see the sun peaking out of the storm clouds.
