"You are someone who needs dreams more than you need nice things. You are someone who needs faith more than you need bulletproof, long-term plans. You are someone who needs to see your life as unlimited more than you need to recognize the inevitable obstacles and disappointments that lie ahead. You’re a person who needs to worship the sky in the morning, and while you praise the peach and gold light, you need to treasure every mistake you’ve ever made like a tarnished ring, like a clay heart, like a smooth river rock. Mundane mistakes and mundane objects are filled with magic. You have the rare ability to recognize that.
Everything that goes wrong right now is a gift that shows you what you don’t want. Everything that goes right is a glimpse of what’s possible. This is true for all of us, no matter how old we are, but it’s especially true for you in this moment, because everything is new for you.
You will look back on these days when you’re older and have even more problems, big and small, and you’ll say “Sure this stuff is hard, but at least I’m not living at home and working at that torturous fucking job!” You will feel grateful that this unlimited world gave you an opportunity to see who you are, as clear as day, without a shadow of doubt.
Because knowing who you are and what you love is bliss. You can get through a lot, once you know who you are and you’re willing to stand up for who you are.
You just need to understand this: You are a person who needs to cultivate an unlimited mindset no matter what you’re doing. You need to imagine big things. You need to dream.
The most precious thing you own is your faith in your own stubborn heart, your own delirious soul, your own glorious dreams.
Pursue your academic dreams. Don’t do it because you’ll become someone important. Do it because it makes you feel alive right now, it supports who you are, it gives you an unparalleled opportunity to embody your values and principles. Difficulties and obstacles only make it even more possible to manifest your faith and inspire others with it. You will be rich or poor or somewhere it between, and it won’t matter that much. What will always matter is how you feel RIGHT NOW, what you believe in RIGHT NOW, and how unlimited the world feels to you RIGHT NOW.
At the heart of all of this, for you, is daring to feel more, daring to care more, daring to invest and invest and invest, daring to look like a fool in the eyes of those who never dare.
This is who you are. You are luminous when you feel everything, when you dare, when you give up on having too much and you learn how perfect JUST ENOUGH looks and feels to you. It looks like less than enough to others. That’s not your problem.
You will lose faith. You will feel discouraged. You will feel tired.
And you will get up the next day and believe all over again. This is who you are."

Running with Matt's Water & Salt analogy for Laudna & Delilah in 4SD - it also implies that Delilah gets stronger when Laudna is under pressure the way salt won't evaporate but water does and salt crystals get left behind. So, Laudna crumbling under the weight of being back in Whitestone, the revelation of being told that her lifeline to the mortal realm is tied to Delilah as well - it's a two-way street (I suspected this but heartbreaking to be confirmed), and the trauma of watching Ashton die because he and Fearne deliberately obfuscated the truth and Laudna still doesn't know the whole story behind that....that's salt water being boiled with no top to prevent the steam from escaping.

self indulgent got concept.
Ned brings Jon home, Cat hates the boy, everything stays the same... until Robert Baratheon is charging through the halls of Winterfell looking for the babe, ready to butcher the poor thing where he lay helpless in his cradle.
in a matter of moments Catelyn learns three things:
The babe was never a bastard, Ned had only lied to her to protect Jon, and that she would die before she let Robert lay a finger on the babe she'd previously wished death upon.
cue Catelyn Stark snatching Jon from his cradle, holding him, protecting him, loving him as she would her own son, risking it all to keep him safe, all care for herself thrown to the wind.
like they say, what a mother's love holds no bounds, and what it makes her capable of had no limits.

what's your opinion on the dramas you're currently watching?
hello anon!
Find Yourself - it's alright, I wasn't a fan at the beginning but it's gotten a lot better. it's a pretty default story but the cast is good and makes it enjoyable. Nothing too special about it though, just a nice after-work watch lol.
Pit Babe - I'm still loving it, I find it very interesting, the cast is good and the plot keeps on giving so it's been a constant highlight for me lol.
Cherry Magic - also still loving it, it's light and fun and cute and just very relaxing to watch lol, also makes me laugh a lot.
Cooking Crush - my current favorite, I love it so much, everything about it makes me smile, it's making its way into my top10 for sure lol. love it.
