This is my try-out for this baby:
My form just got really cluttered, so I wanted to post it here instead.

how he held on until the end for me, how... How I told him to live on without me. How the butterfly flew through the sky. But then... I opened my eyes again. I breathed. I [b]lived. I can just see the faces of my new family watching me excitedly. They don't know. They think I'm a normal child. I can't [the rest is blurred by water]

Life 3 - Entry 2 wrote:I've made a breakthrough. This generation is very interesting - the year 1000. It explains the condition -
it's so much nicer than anything I remember from my first life. That was apparently cavekal times. I know! In spite of everything...
I just can't help holding a childish glee? Why is this happening? My last two lives, cavekal times and then ancient roman times.
The new stuff this generation has is so cool. I wish we had some of this stuff in my first time.
Anyway - the legends of this lifetime are very interesting. There's one about a kalon who's shattered across time and space, and keeps coming back until they're put back together. That's pretty cool.

I'm okay. I'm living in the 1600s now. I don't know how this is going forwards, but it's not very helpful. I just wish I could have a break from this.

Okay
okay
So, I was approached this morning, while I was doing work for the family I work for. They're a lovely bunch, but strict. Anyway-
- a strange man made of shadows came up to me. I was very apprehensive - who was this? But he... He revealed something to me.
You know the kalon in the legend I mentioned last life? (gosh, that's so weird to write... Last life...) That's supposed to be me?
But I don't know how.
Hey, a butterfly. That's pretty neat.
Stranger: Jack?
"..."
S: I know it's you. Jack. What are you on now?
"... 4..."
S: *silent for a moment* fine.
S: I trust you've heard of the kalon who was broken across time?
"Yes."
S: They did something that offended the celestials, and that was their revenge.
"And the only way for them to get better was for one specific one to piece them back together?"
S: Yes. What do you think of that?
"Not much. It's just a legend, right?"
S: ...
"Right?"
S: The kalon in the legend was cursed to die with the stars until someone could piece them back together.
"And?"
"Tell me! Don't go!"
??: Jack? Who are you talking to?
"... Nobody, ma'am."
*S disappears, Jack is left to stare at where they stood*

I'm sorry to the reader for the lack of elaboration on each of my lives. It's just... Hard to comprehend. Why did I get this chance?
What is it for? Why can't I just live a fulfilling life and then rest? Some days I find it hard to get up. What's the point? It's all going to be reset for me anyway once I die.
I need to find more about this stupid legend.
I hate summer. It brings all sorts of bugs, like these damned moths and butterflies.

I've learnt to just accept it whenever I see the butterflies. They're not a good omen. Whenever I see them, I know it's happening.
It's fine.
However... I met someone today. He made my heart kinda flutter, and made my eyes kinda blur. His laugh brings more joy to my heart than I've felt in decades. And he tries to understand. Sure, maybe he won't know that one day he'll be gone and I'll live on,
doomed until the stars die. But for once? I'm happy. And I love it.
Screw the legend. I'm going to live like this is my only life, and it's going to be great.
