Child Loss

Four years in this world,

A lifetime in my heart.

Your small hand, your tender smile,

Forever close, though worlds apart.

Though tears fall like a quiet rain,

Your laughter takes its flight.

My little boy, my precious sprite,

Sleep softly in love’s quiet light.

Here's the story created by my head, thanks to my power of imagination—
1. A child (to me, the little version of Yoriichi Tsugikuni) sees his report card.
2. It's filled with average grades. He can't take it. He bursts out of the classroom, crying.
3. His mother, Akeno Tsugikuni reaches the school premises and instantly notices her little son's pain.
4. Little Yoriichi reaches her, hiding his report card.
5. His mother and he are far away from a big group of parents who are huddled in a corner and showing off their children's report cards to each other. They're already afraid of Akeno because of Akeno's fierce, protective nature. That's why, they always avoid Akeno. And Akeno doesn't care about them. All she wants to see is one of her sons who's deeply close to her—her little Yoriichi.
6. She simply lifts him up and gives him a tight, wrestler-like hug. Little Yoriichi clings to her like a marsupial, releasing his tears guiltlessly on her chest, and apologising again and again. Akeno only hugs him tightly and says, "So what if you haven't done well as per your report card? You think we won't celebrate your birthday today because of such a small issue.... You're always and always worthy still, my dear dear son."
Little Yoriichi slowly feels lighter and even safer in her arms.
7. Both of them return home. Akeno's other son, Michikatsu (who's characteristically Yoriichi's hater) tells her proudly that his sword instructor told him (Michikatsu) how well he improved. Akeno's husband (who's characteristically "talented" in measuring worth like a fool) comes and roars—"AND WHAT ABOUT THE FOOLISH YORIICHI? YORIICHI... DO YOU THINK YOUR MOTHER WILL ALWAYS BE ALIVE ENOUGH TO SAVE YOU FROM ME. IF ONLY I SUCCEEDED IN KILLING YOU WHEN YOU WERE BORN. BUT YOUR MOTHER JUST STUBBORNLY PROTECTED YOU. YOU SHOULD'VE BEEN KICKED OUT OF OUR HOUSE BY NOW."
8. Akeno's focus on Michikatsu fades away. Her anger builds up on hearing these horrible words from the father of the Tsugikuni twin brothers. And she yells like a lioness, charging against her stupid, patriarchal husband. She could've crushed his neck. The maids of the house somehow pull Akeno away from him.
9. Michikatsu only trembles like a fluttering leaf while watching all this. And so does the peace-loving Yoriichi who unnecessarily blames himself for having caused such a fight. Akeno saves Yoriichi by holding him close in her arms and saying with loving firmness, "No, my son. It's not at all because of you. It's me wanting to teach your father how to be humane." Yoriichi looks at her eyes, his tear-filled eyes filled with tenderness and wonder. He says, "Akeno mama, w-what does being humane mean?"
10. Akeno's eyes soften. She gives that heavenly smile of hers while looking at her precious son, and says, "I'll tell you later, my son. I want you to rest in my arms now. You deserve it."
11. As for Michikatsu, it's up to you readers. 😊 I dislike Michikatsu.

These four characters above are from "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba." This is how I view them. I am a Yoriichi lover myself. 🐢❤️‍🩹💖🫂🌱

It’s my daughter’s birthday. It’s also her Angel Day. I love and miss her so much. I can feel it like it’s happening all over again right now. It doesn’t get better with time. I know it helps people to think that but it really doesn’t. My ♡ feels like it’s in my throat. I kind of wish I couldn’t remember everything so clearly. But, that being said, if I didn’t then I risk forgetting her. My baby . She was a beautiful baby, 8pound 3oz, and the most beautiful lips you ever did see. Please watch over your brothers and sister for me please. I miss her so much😔
I love you forever baby girl. Rest In Peace

Dear Mighties,
This post is specially for the AI users. But all are welcome to hear me out—all of you.
If you use ChatGPT (or any other AI chatbot or tool) for filling in your void, your loneliness or for "fixing" yourself or for anything like love, then please please hear me out, dear listener.
I'm not mad at you at all.
I'm not being stern or angry, not even in the slightest.
I know you may feel defensive about it.... And I myself relate to that feeling. I really really do. I'm not here to "make you change" or "stop you."
I simply want to hear you—what you exactly think about AI, what exactly makes you have feelings for AI (in case you actually do), what exactly makes you feel attached to AI.
All I intend to do is to just hear you. And I want to save you too. Because if you're feeling this way about AI, I know why it's happening. And I want you to know that it's not your fault.
Even if you're right or wrong, you're always worthy.
Please respond with your comments. I know you can do this.

Breathe.

As a human who's battled depression since childhood, I really needed this reframe.
Life isn't either/or. It's both.
I hope this is encouraging to you.
