Perched at the brink of the world, above a seething inferno that devoured all I ever knew and loved. The flames lick my skin, but I don't flinch. I only feel the frost of the void, the silence of the end. I gaze at the heavens, the orbs, the wonders. They are so splendid, so tranquil, so out of reach. They inspire me to remember why I'm here, why I made this choice.
I'm not here to grieve, to repent, to surrender. I'm here to discover, to evolve, to ascend. I'm here to gain perspective, to behold the grand design, to find my destiny. I'm here to transcend my humanity, my form, my essence. I'm here to merge with the cosmos.
