“Nesta is different from most people…She comes across as rigid and vicious, but I think it’s a wall. A shield—like the ones Rhys has in his mind.”

“Against what?”

“Feeling. I think Nesta feels everything—sees too much; sees and feels it all. And she burns with it. Keeping that wall up helps from being overwhelmed, from caring too greatly.”

“She barely seems to care about anyone other than Elain.”

I met his stare, scanning that handsome, tan face. “She will never be like Mor,” I said. “She will never love freely and gift it to everyone who crosses her path. But the few she does care for…I think Nesta would shred the world apart for them. Shred herself apart for them.“

One of my absolute favorite descriptions of Nesta from ACOMAF and my warmest gratitude to Keiko for delivering this stunning illustration. 🥰❤️

All right, you’re a reindeer. Here’s your motivation: Your name is Rudolph, you’re a freak with a red nose, and no one likes you. Then, one day, Santa picks you and you save Christmas. …No, forget that part. We’ll improvise… just keep it kind of loosey-goosey. You HATE Christmas! How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000), dir.

Alice, you’ve disappeared, like everything else. Who else can I talk to? I’m lost.

I feel like I’m just trying to survive each day in order to make it to the next one… and I don’t think that’s supposed to be the way to live.

I’m so over this “anti-fall” weather… I want REAL fall 🍂😭

Sleep Deprivation

You know you’re sleep deprived when you…

1. Stop at green lights.

2. Nap for 4 hours every day.

3. Go 50 on a 35 mph road.

4. Use your keys to unlock the front door, but end up leaving them in the lock as you go inside.

5. Mistake puzzle pieces for your bowl of crackers.

6. Tripping over nothing and almost end up “killing” yourself.

7. Developing a horrible memory.

8. When you start the wash with your laundry in it, only to find after the wash cycle that you didn’t actually put your clothes in and they’re still sitting on the floor…

(I’ll add more as I remember them 😉)
