In light of everyone who has gotten objects from their dreams, I would like to join those ranks. I woke up this morning to find a flag draped around my shoulders. A red flag, riddled with bullet holes, tears, and what's very possibly bloodstains. I recognize this flag from when it was flying at our barricade, when it caught the light of the torches as we waited for the dawn, and spent our last night together, when I couldn't bring myself to go to them, my brothers.
I had too much else to do, despite wanting to tell them everything, and I've done my best to tell them here and since then, but it's hardly been easy for me. Maybe my flag is a reminder I should take this time more often. At any rate, it's gone up on my wall where I can look at and remember it and what I am.
So there's that to think of, and remember and keep me moving forward in this lifetime, toward whatever change that we can manage. It's a good reminder not to get complacent in this life, and not to back down from the things that matter most. I won't be making that mistake again.
