Dear system members out there:

Some times, you may not think you’ll have your own life because of this. You might think all of your good moments and all of your milestones will be confined to the box inside your host’s head, or that theyll simply be robbed because you simply don’t have your own body.

These are the times you have to cling closest to remembering the days you spent with, or imagining days spent speaking to friends who understand; use your name, ask you how you are and not mean the system, who will remember things about you, just you. Even if that fails, remember the days when you found just the right clothes, or the perfect food, the things that solidified you against them. These are the things you should grasp til your knuckles are white when the fear takes you from under your diaphragm and inside your ribcage, when it yanks you to the ground and all you can think of are the things you won’t do.

Remember that life is about more than milestones; it’s about living. You’ve got that part covered. Keep going. We believe in you. You’re strong.
