Sokka the 78th - [Action/Written]

[markofthewise]

[After ditching Ed in the tunnels, Sokka has had some thinking to do. He's lost Suki and now he's lost Edward. His relationship with other people has seemed strained too. When it comes down to it, he doesn't particularly feel bad about this, but he is worried about ending up alone. Being alone is bad. But then, so is the life he had before. Well, if the journals are good for one thing, it's for sorting out dilemmas without giving yourself away. So he heads to the journal, disguises his handwriting, and asks:]

[Written (Disguised)]

If you were changed in a way that made you happier, but pushed other people away, would it be worth staying that way? I mean, it's not worth it to make yourself miserable just for the sake of other people, right? That'd be ridiculous.

[Yeah. Totally ridiculous. That was stupid of him to even ask. He stares at the page, shakes his head, and pushes it away. Later he'll reply to it, but for now, he decides to do work instead of wallowing in pointless contemplation.

For people who might want Sokka in person, he's up to his usual routine.]

That is very true.

The only personal advice I would offer is to not burn your bridges too badly, if those you once called friends are no longer welcome. A too-badly scorned friend can swiftly become an enemy, and enemies are no fun for anyone. Especially in this place, where almost everyone and their pet has superhuman powers.

[Edward Elric. He was very dangerous and very angry. While Ed may draw the line at attacking him, it did occur to him that he might try to sabotage his alchemy.]

You're right. It's not like I want to get rid of them all anyway.

[But he needs to be stronger, too. If he's going to make enemies, he needs to step things up a notch and he needs to do it sooner rather than later.]

Think over the actions you take carefully then, don't neglect the usefulness of a good plan for the future, and good luck with the new path you've chosen.

Thanks. I'll keep that in mind.
