MAEA
Sighing faintly Maea sat back in her chair, mug cradled between her hands like it was a lifeline. On one hand, Elizabeth made perfect sense and she could appreciate the sentiment on a theoretical level. Unfortunately, when she tried applying the same reasoning to her own experiences it was as though something simply wouldn't connect. Well and good to tell her to trust herself; but how did you actually do that, when every experience that came to mind screamed what a bad idea that was?
"I heard a term, once... 'Confidently incorrect'," she said slowly, trying to put words on the feeling of resignation that threatened to overtake her. "Like, you think you know exactly what you're doing, there's no obvious reason to suspect you're making a mistake, and you forge ahead with all the best intentions... But then, it turns out you were wrong. And not just you, but those around you are now paying the price of your confidence. Trusting myself... it sounds good and all. But how am I supposed to do that, when I keep doing the same thing over and over again? I think I know what I'm doing, but I don't; what is there to trust in that?"

I see a new horizon, holding on to hope
Say goodbye to all my pain when it's time for me to go
