"Realizing how much beauty has always existed so near to you, and yet you weren't able to see it." Immediately plucked my heartstrings and gave me chills. It reminds me of what its like to come out of a depressive episode.
Sometimes life's so beautiful I want to cry, and sometimes it's so gray and hazy that I simply can't.

My city was almost subsumed in a massive wildfire at one point. We beat it, fought it to a standstill so precise it was like our city had walls, but it's always stuck with me.
What was burned into my memory, more than any other image, was the ash cloud as it rolled in. It literally extended from the ground straight up into the sky. In a way I'd never imagined before, I saw exactly how high the clouds where, and they dwarfed my city so completely that a thing the height of that wall of ash would be as tall as my city was wide three or four times over. It curved as the day went on, and it looked like the entire surface of the planet was curling up to fall on me in some kind of cosmic catastrophe.

this is why I hate making skyscrapers and cities in Minecraft. The taller I build skyscrapers, the longer/wider parks and streets became, the more distinct everything looked, the more it resembled real-life cities, the more it felt empty and unnatural. The savanna I used as space full of trees and animals now is just an entire group of deserted furnished skyscrapers and buildings, the vast open field now filled with inhabited streets and sidewalks, the forest now burned to the ground just for my little own replica of the world. All that effort into the architecture just makes me sad and empty in the end.

"There is an uncomfortable kinship we share with volcanoes, both able to demolish ecosystems, change atmospheric composition, inspire great art. Both able to create cities without people." That part was so exquisitely written with a great narration and tone as well as being supported with beautiful background sceneries. I honestly couldn't but clap, well done sir!

The story of the volcano sunset reminds me of the poem âNever Again the Sameâ by James Tate. Iâll paste it here - I think youâd enjoy it.
Speaking of sunsets,
last nightâs was shocking.
I mean, sunsets arenât supposed to frighten you, are they?
Well, this one was terrifying.
Sure, it was beautiful, but far too beautiful.
It wasnât natural.
One climax followed another and then another
until your knees went weak
and you couldnât breathe.
The colors were definitely not of this world,
peaches dripping opium,
pandemonium of tangerines,
inferno of irises,
Plutonian emeralds,
all swirling and churning, swabbing,
like it was playing with us,
like we were nothing,
as if our whole lives were a preparation for this,
this for which nothing could have prepared us
and for which we could not have been less prepared.
The mockery of it all stung us bitterly.
And when it was finally over
we whimpered and cried and howled.
And then the streetlights came on as always
and we looked into one anotherâs eyesâ
ancient caves with still pools
and those little transparent fish
who have never seen even one ray of light.
And the calm that returned to us
was not even our own.

"anti apocalyptic fantasy" Thank you for putting this into words. Man, I neede dthat. I feel like so many people these days succumb to a sort of "humans are bad and we deserve to die and soon we will destroy earth anyway" mentality. I can emphasize with that way of thought, but I also know it's not good for me and I cannot deal with this all the time. And to achieve positive change we need positivity, we need hope and we need reminders on how humans can be good and how we are part of this beautiful, incredible world we live in. That there's some good in this world, Mr. Frodo. And it's worth fighting for.
