So hey, you might not know me, I'm not famous. Yes I'm a goddess but I'm not one you might know of. I'm luctus, the goddess of balance and misery. You may have forgotten me but I have not forsaken you.
Perhaps some of you have even met me. I'm not that flashy, so you probably ignored or forgot. A scrawny pale girl in a grey hoodie, her eyes covered by her hair, walking in the shadows isn't very interesting afterall.
Perhaps I had even visited you in your dreams, not that you will remember it. So I will elaborate. Remember when you fell asleep crying? Remember that soothing, happy dream you had but you can't remember what exactly it was? Remember those times you woke up, with a pleasant feeling ? the time you remembered the random line of a song you can swear you never heard? That's me.
And remember those days when you are indescribably happy and suddenly you remember all the bad stuff? An embarrassing thing that happened when you were 5? Remembering the deadth of a pet while watching a cute animal ? Or when you suddenly feel insignificant in this vast world? The time you were enjoying and suddenly thought if they will hate you? Well that's also my work.
Hey now don't scowl. It's just how things work. If you are desperate I'll give you enough happiness to keep going , No one deserves an eternity of misery afterall. But of course no one deserves that much happiness either so I'll just slightly destroy it.
But yeah I suppose you can blame me for whatever that happens in your life coz in some way I'm responsible.
See, I can't be everywhere at once. So if you are in too much sorrow , just hold on a bit. I will come with solace. And also if you are too prideful of anything just know that I will come for you too. I really don't like those who show off.
welp times running out. I have to go now, I'm so busy these days. oh wait I didn't say what I came here to. Just help me out a bit OK? help your fellows and yourself a bit. Bye.
~with love, Luctus

This is part of a writing challenge I had accepted, it's probably quite crappy..Ooh also I just made up the goddess idk if there's even a such a name, I just remembered that there's a word in Latin that either Luctus or Looktus? for misery and sorrow
