Swiftcurrent Creek We could dance our tears away, emancipate ourselves

It's okay to make mistakes sometimes, Reverie told him softly, and this time she was confident in her words and her sentiment. We all do.
In The Gilded Sea, we were always punished for our mistakes, She grimaced slightly at the memory. Harshly. It never helped anything. It just made us afraid. I think - being harsh with yourself does the same thing. It makes you afraid to make another mistake, when what you really need is to... to understand yourself better. Well, that's what I think, anyway. Reverie wasn't sure that her perspective was the best; after all, she'd made so many mistakes of her own, and couldn't seem to stop even now. But these beliefs were all she had. The only thing that got her through. So she held to them.
