Me reading the end of the Odyssey:And there lived Happily ever after Person:Actually- Me: THERE LIVED HAPPILY EVER AFTER

Stanning Odysseus is embracing misery. I cannot keep going through these raw levels of pain.

The effort it takes to live in denial. I'm spent. Nothing outside Homer is real. No, Odysseus never visited Thesprotia. No he didn't marry anyone but Penelope. No he didn't father epigonoi. No he wasn't killed neither by Telegonus nor a stingray. No he wasn't exiled to Italy by Neoptolemus. NO HE'S NOT ON THE F* MOON WDYM

Odysseus: and the north is wherever I want it to be if I twist myself enough
