I read the End Poem today and I can’t stop thinking about it

Reading that made me cry

Man I remember reading all that when I was 11
I didn’t understand it but it made me a bit sad

Yeah. Most of the time I would just skip over it until I read the book “The End”. (by Catherynne M. Valente) I got interested and decided to read the poem yesterday and it was so worth it

"and the universe said I love you.

and the universe said you have played the game well.

and the universe said everything you need is within you.

and the universe said you are stronger than you know.

and the universe said you are the daylight,

and the universe said you are the night.

and the universe said the darkness you fight is within you.

and the universe said the light you seek is within you.

and the universe said, you are not alone."

and the universe said you are not separate from every other thing

and the universe said you are the universe tasting itself, talking to itself, reading its own code

and the universe said I love you because you are love.

And the game was over and the player woke up from the dream. And the player began a new dream. And the player dreamed again, dreamed better. And the player was the universe. And the player was love.

You are the player.

Wake up.

I was going to put that part on there but I thought it would be too long

But literally tho. It hits really hard.

It made me cry legit

Fr tho

I’m rewatching this shit just to reminisce
