For some reason, upon hearing his words, I did not feel sadness or regret. Even if there was no need for it, I took a deep breath and then sighed. I feel relieved.
"Hey, Death?" I called out his name.
"Yes?"
"Did you ever think, while watching my life, that I'm a very shallow person to seek death?" I couldn't help but ask. "I know, some people had it worse than I did, and yet I chose the easy way out. You will even give me a death where the pain is non-existent.
"I, compared to other people, am very fortunate."
"You do know that I would have never appeared before you if I thought you were shallow for seeking me?" Death pointed out.
"Really?" I gasped.
"Really," He affirmed. "Every tear you shed, every anger you felt, every moment of despair you felt, all of it was valid, Evangeline. Everyone has a different threshold of pain, just because other people can handle more doesn't mean your pain means less.
