When Medea said “I would rather stand three times with a shield in battle than give birth once” it was so powerful that it burned off my eyebrows

“
It was here. This is where she stood. These stone lions looked at her; now they no longer have heads. This fortress - once impregnable, now a pile of stones - was the last thing she saw. A long-forgotten enemy demolished it; so did the centuries, sun, rain, wind. The sky is still the same, a deep blue block, high, vast. Nearby, the giant fitted-stone walls which, today as in the past, point the way to the gate, where no trace of blood can be seen seeping out from beneath. Point the way into the darkness. Into the slaughterhouse. And alone.
Keeping step with the story, I make my way into death.
”
- Cassandra, by Christa Wolf.

if we could all stop pretending we are whole, and instead embrace our constant becoming…
…perhaps we could begin to love the process of growth and change, rather than anxiously awaiting the final form.

Reminds me a bit of that Cor/Ardyn soulmates AU idea - the one where Cor is constantly reincarnating, and Ardyn isn’t.
