Wow, it's been such a long time since I've been on Tumblr! Loved this app for so long and it was my little corner of the internet to escape from life and pretty much used it as a journal of sorts. Life has been good and bad, ugly, painful, beautiful since the last time I got on here. But I am still here surviving it all. 🤍

“Until one comes who is mightier, The one sprung from misery, The one who was weak, The one who was hunted, The one marked with claw and vine, The one named in secret, The one called Jezelia.”

“There is truth in stories, fiction is truth even if it is not fact. If you believe only in facts and forget stories your brain will live but your heart will die.

the older i get the more i can understand why people back in the old fairytale days would just fuck off and be a hermit in the woods. just chilling out in the middle of nowhere and occasionally telling random heroes cryptic shit. living the fucking dream.

Shout out to everyone that’s actually really intelligent but have difficulty articulating what they know especially when they’re being questioned.

My therapist, who is probably in her late 40′s, told me she never pursued more artistic opportunities in her younger years because one teacher told her she wasn’t a “good artist”. Now after taking art lessons the past few years she is pursuing an art therapy license.

I sit here and sing along to my iTunes remembering how I was punished as a child in elementary choir class which made me avoid choir like the plague as I grew older. I took band classes instead, which I stunk at, making me feel like I would always be a failure musically. Today, I can for the most part carry a tune and even harmonize, and can make up songs pretty quickly.

We need to remember that the arts are meant to be FUN, subjective, and a form of self expression instead of telling kids they are “good” or “bad”, “talented” and “not talented”. The arts are not meant to be graded.

My grandmothers advice on reading: You’re never too old for a good book.

This was like a couple years ago? But I got her interested in the Raven Cycle series after telling her about them. I mean come on, it’s about a dead Welsh King, friendship, trees that speak Latin, etc. How could she not? So, she called the local library to see if they had them. However, when the librarian heard what series she was looking for the lady’s response was, “Uhh… those are books for teenagers…”

My grandmother simply responded with, “So? You’re never too old for a good book.”

So, no matter how old you are never let anyone feel bad for what you read. If you’re enjoying it then good for you!

I cherish the moment after I’ve finished a new favourite book. That mixture of sadness, loss, and happiness is the power of literature. I was so naive when I started reading the first chapter. How was I to know I was about to fall in love?

“Once upon a time, in a land long since burned to ash, there lived a young princess who loved her kingdom… Words she had spoken to a prince. Once - long ago. A prince of ice and wind. A prince who had been hers, and she his. Long before the bond between their souls became known to them. It was upon him that the task of protecting that once-glorious kingdom now fell. The prince whose scent was kissed with pine and snow, the scent of that kingdom she has loved with hear heart of wildfire.”

— Sarah J. Maas “Kingdom of Ash”
