Pride Swallowing.

Whilst rewriting the end of a story that you ended badly is virtually next to impossible and very highly improbable, giving it a try while there still is a chance wouldn't hurt, to say the very least. Because God knows when you'll get another opportunity and how many more you'd get even if you do get another. There can only be so many chances and there definitely can only be so many reasons for you to take them or to not take them.

Hello there, I'm the Earthian.

Sometimes we forget what certain symbols used to mean to us, what certain things used to represent to us, what certain things can still represent to us if we just removed that stick from our butts that we are so reluctant to remove, excuse the language. Sure nothing much can change but just the sheer fact that you were willing to acknowledge what you were so strongly denying gives a comfortable closure. The kind of closure that still leaves the door half open, for you know, just in case things turn around, even if it is the longest of shots.
If not for anything else for the mere knowledge of the fact that you, at the very least, tried. That to me is worth it, its worth a lot more than my ego and my pride combined and it is definitely worth swallowing the same for just that one try, one teeny tiny try. And I give you my word, it doesn't hurt to do that. I Cross my heart it doesn't hurt.

Love, peace.
