Hello everyone! I'm going to be starting up a "Dear Ocean" post. This is where you can reach out to your fellow Riftfairers if you're in need of advice or help, and you can do it Anonymously. Other people can respond to your anon posts to try and help you figure out a tricky situation, or offer up advice on all sorts of things.
If this one goes well, I may do another in the future.
I'll even start us off.

Dear Ocean,
Last month I saw someone that had hurt me, but he didn't stick around. We sort of got to talk a little, but I still feel like we left a lot unresolved. I don't know if I should still be angry and hurt by what he did, or if I should try to accept that he just doesn't understand me, but he was the first person who tried in a very long time.
Signed, Not-A-Monster

All right so here's the problem; 'bout twenty years ago or so most of my people, and our entire planet got blown into space-dust. Maybe five of us made it out because we were off-world at the time, and most of that group hasn't lasted. We got told afterwards it was a comet smashed into the place and that's what did it, but...I ain't too sure that's true.
We work for a guy, and ever since he took over the organization we were part of from his dad, he's treated us specifically with no damn respect at all. And, I keep hearing these rumours that it wasn't no comet that blew up our planet, but him. Our boss, I mean. That he just up and decided to get rid of us, even after we'd served him loyally!
I don't care that the rest of my people died or nothin', but what I do care about is that the guy that did it might have tricked us survivors into keep working for him afterwards, and he still treats us like crap! I tried to bring it up to my boss, because he's one of the survivors too, but he told me to forget about it. Both him and our leader are stronger than I am, so it ain't like there's much I can do about it, but it still really grinds my gears here. How am I supposed to let a blow to my pride like that stand?

y Naoh yeah, and uh, "dear ocean" but like at the start.
Who needs anon? Not him!
You are not strong enough to defeat your superiors and take either of their positions from them. It is understandable that you must hold your tongue in the face of such a reality. To do otherwise would risk your life needlessly.
But you must hold the hatred it inspires within you. Let it strengthen and inspire you. And if there comes an opportunity to destroy the one that destroyed your home, betrayed your trust, and degraded you, you do not hesitate to do so. Until then, you survive and you remember.
