[ he’s a little jealous— it sounds easy the way yusuke says it, like you just needed to manually put one marble to the left and another to the right. eren understands the concept in theory, he’s heard it countless times. they are vastly different lives that connected the same base of a person, under different circumstances. if it were so easy . . . none of this would really be a problem in the first place. ]
Sounds like you can separate things pretty easily.
I think having the chance to back out if you need to is important. Sometimes that makes you want to try harder, than doing something just because you have no other option.
[ But thank you for the motivational speech, he appreciates it. ]
However, focusing on the life you had rather than one you might have had or had in the past seems important.
[ it’s something to consider, and eren likes talking to people precisely because of that. he wasn’t completely bullheaded— if he understood a valuable point of view, he’d adopt it. the cart begins to clatter and the tunnel around them passes by slower by the minute. they’d probably end up stopping soon. ]
If it weren’t for that . . . We wouldn’t even be able to do what we do now.

Hardly.
But taking all of this on our shoulders, as well as all of the other troubles of everyday life is too much. Trying is important.

I say do instead of try. [ just a tip from motivational jaeger, get yours today while supplies last. ] Trying gives you margin to give up.
But you’re right about that.

Acknowledging it, but not letting it overtake us. Balancing it all.
[ That seems like a fair balance to Yusuke at least. ]
