“I am hopelessly in love with a memory. An echo from another time, another place.”

“We often want it so badly that we ruin it before it begins. Overthinking. Fantasizing. Imagining. Expecting. Worrying. Doubting. Just let it naturally evolve”

Nobody understands the bond between a girl and the mediocre book she read when she was 13 years old.

[paradoxical-ataraxy]

Fear is a constant.

Is there room for one to grow, change, evolve?

Where there was pain now there is love.

Although clouded by the past.

How can one forget?

Fear is a constant.

Will I be hurt again? Will I ever experience love again?

Is this it for me? Is there more I can experience out there?

Will I be happy? Am I missing something? In me? In them?

The world is a sinister place that makes you ponder in wonderment of what if’s.

Humans can never be satisfied. Always wanting more. Always giving less.

It is a cycle. Neverending.

Fear is a constant.

Will I be hurt again?

Is being hurt a part of growing?

Do I need to endure this to grow? Be better? Become the version of myself I want?

Are we made to suffer?

To enjoy life’s pleasures?

There has to be more.

For me.

For you.

Fear is an illusion.

Make that change in your life and create your happiness. Whether farce or true. Create it. Live it. Breathe it.

For when the end arrives,

And it will arrive.

You are fearless.

Solar Eclipse

The sun and the moon were reunited

Years have passed with each in solitude

They embraced each other with such love

Holding on for as long as they could

4 minutes

4 minutes of bliss

4 minutes of warmth

4 minutes of togetherness

That’s all they needed

For when the time comes again,

They will be ready

Yearning for more the Moon says, “It’s been so long since I’ve seen you.”

“It has” says the Sun, “but my love for you has never faltered.”

“I will be back” says the Moon, “Please wait for me.”

“I will always wait for you” said the Sun, knowing the stars were her witness.

“Until next time, my love.”

And just like that,

the Sun and the Moon kissed their goodbyes

One day they will be together again

They keep waiting and wishing

For that one day

Embrace it.

[paradoxical-ataraxy]

That’s why.

[paradoxical-ataraxy]

Good stuff.

I totally agree! We really don’t know much about it since it happened so fast and they were just trying to survive at that point. You make a good point though, Feyre did seem interested in her and emphasized her strength. I feel like Tamlin definitely needs a strong mate to put him in his place and be his equal. He’s proved he has good in him but has made some poor decisions. I can’t wait for him to get some love and redemption!

Anyway, I'm not done with A Court of Silver Flames, but I have a crack theory regarding Tamlin.

That human girl that Feyre and Azriel saved when they went to rescue Elain? (And it was Tamlin who really saved them in the end.)

Briar, her name was?

Yeah. She's Tamlin's mate.

Edit: oh, it's not crack at all! I looked it up, a lot of people ship it. Goody! I hope there's fiiiiiiic....
