[ CW ] create a character I feel strongly for ( love/hate/sympathize ) using a monologue from their perspective .

I've made this mistake before. Why have I come back for more? I'm watching controlled fires on the side of Cohen mountain, and they seem to be cauterizing the mountan from the city. They say a smart man learns from his own mistakes and a wise man learns from others, yet I ca n't seem to do either. I want to believe trust is something obtainable, and for me to keep trying, I have to disregard every lesson I've made from other people. The rain is darkening the already darkened burnt wood, and I almost can feel it's warmth permeating. But I know that there is still pliable, tan innards within those trees. Perhaps from their charcoal something greater will come, but perhaps not. The fire is so violent, yet I'm inexorably drawn to its force, and ease of its power. There does n't ever seem to be enough information to ever make a decision, so I suppose I'll have to just rely on my trust of my intuition. But I've made that mistake before.
