“Forest of Broken Dreams”

Third of the seven states of mind. The river that runs through the forest carries mankind’s dreams, and it is believed that the trees draw power from the river’s waters. It is said that the trees reflect the darkest and deepest parts of mankind’s desires and those unfortunate enough to find themselves in this forest would do well to avoid their allure. Those that return from the forest often harbour violent wishes, and more often than not, they carry them out.

Sometimes it’s okay to feel good about the people you’ve left behind. It’s okay to be elated that they’re no longer in your life. Some people are energy absorbers, they’re like parasites. If you keep them in your life for a while, you may no longer recognise yourself or your life. If someone doesn’t feel right in your life, you need to make a decision. Sometimes saying goodbye is the right decision.

Sometimes not telling people anything is a good thing.

I root for underdogs – and I get that that’s the point of underdogs. I’ve seen “Mighty Ducks,” okay? I root for them because I relate to them – which is, again, the whole point. But because they’re a popular archetype, everyone responds to one in particular. Black Widow is mine. Why she’s mine specifically is something that I’m trying to figure out now, but whatever the reason, she hits something in my heart. Her underdoggedness (hello, word invention!) operates on multiple levels with me, all of them complementary. On a textual level, she’s the underdog because she’s the Avenger without any powers; she’s not Vision or Captain America or Scarlet Witch. Her gadgets are also limited to a few snazzy devices, like her Widow’s Bite bracelets, taser discs and garrote. None of them come close to touching the complexity of Rhodey’s War Machine suit or Falcon’s wings. This is why I find it so satisfying to watch her in these films, where she should be outmatched in nearly every head-to-head match-up but she charges full force at her adversaries anyway. She exudes a specific type of determination and confidence, one that causes me to actively cheer for her in every altercation. I don’t do that with anyone else.  .  .  . That’s what’s going through my head when I watch that GIF of a well-trained spy running full force at a cyborg super-soldier, shoving the entirety of her mass at him and making the unmovable stagger backwards. I see a character that has a lot to overcome (her in-universe history, her lack of godlike abilities, Hollywood sexism) and never gives up. She barely survives a rampaging Hulk, and shakes it off to save her brainwashed friend. She doesn’t back down against a literal god or an army of alien invaders. She gets shot through the shoulder, but still mounts a rocket launcher on her injury and uses it to keep her partner alive. She sees a mission going south in South Korea and single-handedly pulls out a victory. She wakes up a captive and uses scraps of an old radio to signal the entirety of the Avengers down on the villain. She comes face-to-face with the killer that scarred her – and she wails on him anyway.

Some people think that a place can save them. Like if they could just be somewhere else, their lives would be totally different. They could finally be the people they always wanted to be. But to me, a place is just a place. If you really want things to change, you can make them change no matter where you are.

Speak your heart. If they don’t understand, the message was never meant for them anyway.
