Planet Postcards ⩌: Hebe

Magic Symbols ⩌: Hebe, the Cupbearer, the Eternally Youthful, The Bride. You flit about the solar system, dispensing youth and vitality to all the gods. In this way they worship you. They will not admit it, but your are THEIR god. Your blessings are sought by so many. What sweetness your ambrosia must be? Or perhaps we will do well to speculate on its flavor. Even the most bitter fruit would be welcome if it gave the gift of youth. But which youth? Teenage me was a fraught barely-man, who struggled under the weight of his own feelings. Child me was curious and inquisitive and collected knowledge like it was all going to be lost one day, but the divide between me and my peers left scared rents in my life. Post-college me was full of energy, but with no good place to put it, the world being more foggy than expected. The present me...is the most strong I have ever been. Is able to be battered by storm and sea and still keep swimming. The present me can see more sharply than any version before. The present me is ablaze with curiosity and drive. I am arguably my most healthy I have ever been. What did I do to get your blessings, O Hebe? Which of these cups was spiked with Ambrosia? Know then, I will not squander your gift of more time and more strength.
