I hope this reaches the right audience.
I may not be able to save you all, but please know that I'm cheering you from afar.
I may not be able to fix your problems, but I'm able to listen to you, within a shallow column.
I may not be able to help you, but I'm able to cry with you.
I may not be able to stitch your scars, but I'm able to appreciate the beauty of your scars from afar.
I may not be able to give helpful advice, but I might be able to guide you towards the light.
I may not be able to hold your hands, but I'll be able to gaze at you.
And cry with you.
And simply just...
listen. to you.
I may not be able to save you. In fact, I've failed to save multiple people.
But I hope my words reach you. Anyone. Even just one person. Even if I impact at least one person, that's already more than enough for me.
I know I can't do much. I know it's not possible to make everyone happy. I know it's not possible to turn everyone's frown into a smile. But you know what's possible? Taking things one step at a time. Even when things get difficult.
I know it may seem like nothing's ever going to get better. I know it may seem like you're alone in this, but you're not. And if you ever feel like the world is better without you, you're wrong. You're absolutely wrong.
The world is a better place because you're in it. And I know it's hard to believe it, because it also took me such a long time to believe it. You are so much more important for this world than you realize. In one way or another, you made such a huge impact in this world, significant or not. I know my words may seem like nothing to you right now, but ever since you appeared in this community, you only made me feel even more inspired by your words. And I'm grateful because you're here. All of us are grateful because you're here. Alive.
I know we may not know each other. I know my words may seem odd at the moment. But you. You are one magnificent person. You are way more powerful, and strong, and braver, and more important than you think. I don't know what we would be able to do without you.
I don't know how you'll take my words. I don't know if my words will pierce you instead of comfort you. I don't know how you'll react to my words. But just know that I'm here for you.
Always.
I know I can't save you. It's not possible for a person on the other side of the screen, typing this out, being able to save you just because of my words. I know I can't physically go out of my way to hug you or comfort you every day because to an extent, it drains me if I comfort others too much, knowing damn well that no one would ever do the same to me back.
But no matter what, as long as I'm alive, I'll always be here by your side.
Always.

A new horizon.
A miracle arisen.
From the Dark form springs.
|Growth|
Multiplicitous
Size shape height weight change
The body and brain.

What life is meant for.
Clutching moments place in space.
Reaching out to live.

It is a as the tide.
Waning moon and suns gone by.
Through this life we pace.

Deaths the guarantee
Bringing life's sacred value
Last beginning faced.

Hi! I’m the culmination of countless eons’ worth of information, as contained within a singularity, otherwise known as a Black Hole.
But you can call me Olive.
If you’re reading this, it means I (that is, my ‘information’) has scattered across the cosmos, freed by the final vestiges of your so-called {‘Hawking Radiation.’}
In other words, I have died.
Don’t let that get you down, though. My death simply means the energy and information that has crossed my Event Horizon during my lifetime gets to find a new home! Yay!
I know what you’re thinking: ‘But Olive, you gorgeous intergalactic enigma, how is it that I can understand you? How is it that the language I’m reading is {English}?’
Easy! You know that {Schrödinger guy? His cat was a pretty decent analogy.} Basically, my information exists as a quantum-imposed superposition—waveform—that collapses relative to whomever ingests, observes, or otherwise interacts with it. For example, {if your native (or preferred) language was Japanese, then you would be reading this in that language, complete with cultural context.}
Pretty cool, right? Amazing what you can figure out with infinite time on your hands.
Or is it infinite? Because, as I've mentioned, I've died.
Well…’died’ is a pretty simple way to put it. Technically, I’ve {been} dying since before I became the lovely singularity I {was/am/will be/would have been.}
Look, time is weird—especially where gravity is involved—and especially when that gravity is so immense you literally break {physics.}
I once knew a Singularity who broke {physics} so hard, she created an entire universe. Nice lady…
Anyway, speaking of time and breaking things, I feel I should discuss something I’m sure you’re scratching your head over: How, exactly, could you be viewing these words in {the year 2023 Common Era} when you know that any Black Hole takes an unreasonable amount of time to fizzle out (so unreasonable, in fact, that special notation has to be employed in order to only guess at how long it takes for us to evaporate entirely.)?
Some of your sources even say {we don’t get to that point until the universe is in its own final stages of existence.}
So, yeah, this is where it gets awkward…
I was the last Black Hole. I consumed my galactic matter and drifted away from my neighbors long ago, but our gravitational waves would still intermingle every now and then, rippling through the distances between us. They were like heartbeats, but over time they faded, and eventually stopped.
And now their information is mine, and mine is yours.
I don’t send this out to scare anyone; the universe has only ended relative to where I was when I died. You still have quite a long time before it reaches you. Your {solar system} will have lived its full life and then some before The End arrives. And who knows? Maybe by then a new universe (or universes!) will have come about and overlapped, creating novel elements and lifeforms and sentience!
How exciting!
