If I have any advice to give to anyone, demigod or not, it's don't wait for the hard days to be over, to be happy. You'll end up waiting forever and making a whole lot of wasted and regretful choices. Happiness is a choice, an active choice you have to make. Over and over again. To make the choice to stare down the barrel of a gun, and bare your unwavering, bright, and toothy grin. Bloody it may be sometimes, but I'll be damned if it doesn't make my smile even brighter. My happy ending is a craft of my own design, it's not something I'm waiting on for it to find me. That doesn't happen. The gods know that and I do too. You have to find your own happiness, and defend it with everything that you are, because nothing is worth more than your inner peace. Nothing. You can be as wild and powerful as a raging storm, but without a calm center to ground yourself, you're going to find yourself adrift aimlessly. Find who you are, find what makes you happy, and don't let anyone take that from you. The rest in life is just playing games for fools, so quit playing their games. Play your own.
