The Moirae [ Μοῖραι ]
"the apportioners"
Collectively they are the fates, weavers of destiny for mortal and immortal alike. They serve the higher power of Ananke "inevitability." There are three goddesses, each encompassing a different aspect of fate.

Κλωθώ (Clotho)
"spinner"
Spins the thread of life from her distaff. She is a youngest of the fates, the maiden aspect of the triple goddess. In other traditions she is the goddess called upon in the ninth mouth of pregnancy to aid in birth.

Λάχεσις (Lachesis)
"disposer of lots"
Measures the length of each being's life thread, deciding the duration of their existence. She also decides their destiny with her measuring rod. She is the mother aspect of the triple goddess, a stern woman of respect. In other traditions, she is said to appear within three days of a child's birth to decide their fate in life.

Άτροπος (Atropos)
"without turn"
Known as "the inevitable" and "the unturning" she is the one who cuts the thread of life, and chooses the manner of one's death. Encompassing the crone aspect of the triple goddess, she was often portrayed as unfeeling and foreboding, as she was feared because of her power over death. Hesiod's "Theogony" portrays her dark nature with his description of her "abhorred shears."

Though it is thought by some that the Fates are daughters of Zeus and Themis, a titan, and goddess of order, Hesiod describes them as daughters of Nyx "night" alone. Though Zeus and the other gods ruled over the universe, they were still subject to the will of the Fates. Though seen as uncaring, the Fates have on occasion heard the pleas of others, and though they cannot undo their own decisions, they may use substitutions.

One of the saddest things I've ever read...
-------------------------------------------------
To: James

In my restless dreams,
I see that town.

Silent Hill.

You promised you’d take me there again someday.
But you never did.

Well I’m alone there now...
In our “special place.”
Waiting for you...

Waiting for you to come to see me.
But you never do.

And so I wait, wrapped in my cocoon of pain and loneliness.

I know I’ve done a terrible thing to you.
Something you’ll never forgive me for.
I wish I could change that, but I can’t.

I feel so pathetic and ugly laying here, waiting for you...
Every day I stare up at the cracks in the ceiling
and all I can think about is how unfair it all is...

The doctor came today.
He told me I could go home for a short stay.
It’s not that I’m getting better.
It’s just that this may be my last chance...

I think you know what I mean...

Even so, I’m glad to be coming home.
I’ve missed you terribly.

But I’m afraid James.
I’m afraid you don’t really want me to come home.
Whenever you come see me, I can tell how hard it is on you...

I don’t know if you hate me or pity me...
Or maybe I just disgust you....

I’m sorry about that.

When I first learned that I was going to die,
I just didn’t want to accept it.
I was so angry all the time and I struck out at everyone I loved most.
Especially you, James.
That’s why I understand if you do hate me.

But I want you to know this, James.
I’ll always love you.

Even though our life together had to end like this,
I still wouldn’t trade it for the world.
We had some wonderful years together.

Well this letter has gone on too long so I’ll say goodbye.
I told the nurse to give this to you after I’m gone.
That means that as you read this,
I’m already dead.

I can’t tell you to remember me,
but I can’t bear for you to forget me.

These last few years since I became ill...
I’m so sorry for what I did to you, did to us...
You’ve given me so much and I haven’t bee able to return a single thing.

That’s why I want you to live for yourself now.
Do what’s best for you, James.

James...

You made me happy.

Now I will share some of my favorite quotes...
-----------------------
"My candle burns at both ends;
it will not last the night;
But ah, my foes, and oh, my friends —
it gives a lovely light!"
-Edna St. Vincent Millay
-----------------------
"A sharp tongue is the only edged tool which grows keener with constant use."
-Washington Irving
-----------------------
"They fuck you up,your mom and dad,
they may not mean to but they do.
They fill you with the faults they had,
and add some extra just for you.

But they were fucked up in their turn
by fools in old-style hats and coats.
Who half the time were soppy-stern,
and half at one another's throats.

Man hands on misery to man,
it deepens like a coastal shelf.
Get out as early as you can,
and don't have any kids yourself."
"This Be The Verse" - Phillip Larkin
-----------------------
"I'm nobody! Who are you?
Are you nobody, too?
Then there ’s a pair of us—don’t tell!
They ’d banish us, you know.

How dreary to be somebody!
How public, like a frog
To tell your name the livelong day
To an admiring bog! "
- Emily Dickinson
-----------------------
More to come, these things just speak to me. I don't reply to them, I promise you.

Who champions for immortality?
Why do such a deed?
As you must watch beloved ones die.
And wait for never to come.
