It seems like yesterday that William & Catherine were using their creativity as The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge to mark their 10th wedding anniversary. It is an intimate, moving and generous family video that globally communicated a decade's worth of their appreciation to the entire world.

This year (2024) their most personal & private family pain was shredded by royal watchers and talking heads like Piers Morgan, Michael Cole and Meghan Kelly.

How gracious and generous of the Prince and Princess, international role models, to (again) creatively speak life to a watching world in a language we can all understand: LOVE

Well done Kensington Palace for uplifting the virtues of hope, encouragement, friendship, love, and family. Well done! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Some days, life feels perfect

Other days, it just ain't workin'

The good, the bad, the right, the wrong

And everything in between

Yo it's crazy, amazing

We can turn our heart through the words we say

Mountains crumble with every syllable

Hope can live or die

So speak life, speak life

To the deadest, darkest night

Speak life, speak life

When the sun won't shine and you don't know why

Look into the eyes of the brokenhearted

Watch 'em come alive as soon as you speak hope

You speak love, you speak

You speak life, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

You speak life, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Some days, the tongue gets twisted

Other days, my thoughts just fall apart

I do, I don't, I will, I won't

It's like I'm drowning in the deep

Well, it's crazy to imagine

Words from my lips as the arms of compassion

Mountains crumble with every syllable

Hope can live or die

So speak life, speak life

To the deadest, darkest night

Speak life, speak life

When the sun won't shine and you don't know why

Look into the eyes of the brokenhearted

Watch 'em come alive as soon as you speak hope

You speak love, you speak

You speak life, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

You speak life, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Lift your head a little higher

Spread the love like fire

Hope will fall like rain

When you speak life with the words you say

Raise your thoughts a little higher

Use your words to inspire

Joy will fall like rain

When you speak life with the things you say

Lift your head a little higher

Spread the love like fire

Hope will fall like rain

When you speak life with the words you say

So speak life, speak life

To the deadest, darkest night

Speak life, speak life

When the sun won't shine and you don't know why

Look into the eyes of the brokenhearted

Watch 'em come alive as soon as you speak hope

You speak love, you speak

You speak life, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

You speak life, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

You speak life, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

You speak life, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Some days, life feels perfect

I would personally like to thank all the gen x and elder millennials who allowed me to be the “kid” in all of my favorite fandom spaces 15+ years ago because lord knows if I was anything like the youth in some of my newer fandoms I should have been blocked by at least 2/3 of my faves

i Don't think i'm gonna be able to stop myself from putting my hawke on this blog when i'm done with this run but i Do think she's gonna be fairly canon-divergent, or at least canon-questionable

sometimes being a person is doing something with a group of friends, and not having a great time

and then you see that they're putting in effort to try and make you feel welcome and help you have a good time

and like fuck well now i've got to try and find enjoyment in the mundane because i want to hang out with my friends and this is where we're doing it

sometimes it just takes a few false starts or some equally over used metaphor

doesn't make it untrue

not putting this on that last reblog, but like, relevant to it - i feel like a lot of people have an extremely bad relationship to death. specifically, in a way thats very cultural and not innate.

i mean, how much has already been talked about with how uncomfortable people are with thinking about the meat that theyre eating came from something alive, and how they dont want any reminders of it? this is a recent change, and a very specific geographic change as well. people are suddenly a lot more squeamish around death, even necessary death. not just of predation but of animals dying at all, even in cases where the animal needs to be put down for quality of life reasons. it feels like its gotten a lot worse lately, of people trying to keep animals alive long past they should have been humanely put down, just because they cannot possibly deal with the fact of death.

it sort of feels the same way for human death as well. i mean, just look at the order of the good death and what they talk about, with how the removal of death as a natural and normal part of our lives seemingly only makes the hurt of it all the worse.

it feels like people are even less familiar with animals and less familiar with the messy parts of being alive, so far removed from nature, that they get even more freaked out by just the simplest, most basic parts of it. it feels like how people have gotten way more afraid of insects and spiders now that theres a greater degree of separation forced between us and the natural world. and because of this, it now makes the ongoing ecological crisis all the worse, because fear makes it so much harder to save what we have.

This video is about 8 minutes long, but it is well worth watching to the end. This is why we must share the Good News of Jesus whenever we can, because someone may need to hear that message.

Friend, if you need to hear this today, Jesus loves you so very much, and He always will. Nothing can ever separate you from His love (Romans 8:38-39). Amen! 🙌

Another day of swifties being way too invested and over involved in Taylor’s life.

I have read a portion of Scott’s email but stopped reading halfway through. But from what I’m seeing online.. I mean is any of this new info? So the Swift family are total Capitalists (capital C)? We’ve known this for years. So Taylor’s parents may not have always had an amicable relationship - while on the verge of or going through a divorce. I mean we don’t need to know that (and shouldn’t??) but it’s hardly shocking. A parent feeling like their teenage kid doesn’t appreciate them or recognise all the things they do to support them - mindblowing.

Another day of overanalysing minuscule things Taylor has said, and changing the meaning of song lyrics to fit the current narrative - that Scott is an abusive father/husband. Apparently Tolerate It is about Scott now - funny how it was about Joe last week?? Maybe we just need to accept that we really have no clue what’s going on in Taylor’s life (and I feel more and more that the stuff we do know about Taylor is a very carefully crafted public persona - again not very shocking).

Honestly, the only thing that matters right now in the year 2023, Taylor stills has a very public and seemingly positive relationship with her father. Taylor is not a teenager anymore, she is a woman in her 30’s, she can decide if/how she continues to have a relationship with her parents. Scott - along with Andrea - constantly attend her shows, and the family were all at the Chiefs game just a few days ago. Whatever may have happened 20 years ago they at least have a somewhat amicable relationship now. Considering this is all in relation to a court case I’m going to hazard a guess that Taylor has known about these emails for a while- so clearly she’s not too angry at her Dad? If she (or Andrea) didn’t know, or are actually more resentful/angry then they’re willing to let us know - that’s fine, that’s their prerogative. Because it’s their family.
