Yusei Rhee
A lot of time has gone by, and I'm sitting in my room wondering where I've gone wrong in life. I volunteered for a game to get the girl I loved to notice me, but it did the opposite. I literally died to show her how much I cared, and now I am alive. I'm back in district one unsure of where to go from here. Every day is the same, and I am getting around pretty well now. I'm learning to live again. I'm trying to learn the meaning of life. I'm trying to pick up the pieces and build it all back up. I don't know what to do now. A lot of my time is spent wandering through the district like I'm doing now. My eyes are fixated on the ground, and I ignore the whispers of those who pass by. Sometimes life seems fun, but today that isn't the case.
I'm trying to find a job to help me plan for the future. I'm trying to find something to do, but even as this bird walks in front of me, it seems just as lost as I am. Sometimes I thought about becoming a peacekeeper and journeying through life without a care in the world. I thought about trying to bring justice to the less fortunate, but I know what they do. I live in such a cruel place, but this district is so much better off than the others. I saw them first hand. I saw how underweight they are, and their sunken cheeks haunt my memories. I'm glad I'm not one of them, but today I feel like I am because I don't know what to do anymore now the door has closed, and my chances of being with Cirque are in the negatives now.
I sigh as I lean against a brick wall to the training center. There's no need stepping foot into one now. There's no need to learn to hold a sword or do anything anymore. I had a chance to reunite with my parents. I saw them. I was almost in my mother's arms, but even that was taken away. I could maybe get a job training people since I've been in the arena and I fought. I lived and I died. I don't know. There's a reason I'm here, and I don't know what it is at the moment, but I'm going to work hard to figure it out. One day my purpose will make sense to me, and I'll know why I'm here. until then, I'll keep searching so maybe I can hold my head high. I'm not the best person around, but I'm me, and that's all that matters.
