[ ah. elrond pauses. ]

Acceptance gives me room to love and live better. If I remained angry over my losses. And I have lost my fair share. As a child, my home was burned to the ground. My mother flung herself into the sea. My twin and myself were raised by our captors. Our father — [ elrond quietly sighs. ] — is another story.

I am not saying it is acceptable or right. But I choose to focus on what is front of me rather than turn my back on it.
