I’m Officially Making One Of These For Each Chapter Of Strings Attached In No Particular Order, Since

SCHOOL SPIRITS — 2.08 "Fire, Talk to Me"

When you arise in the morning think of what a privilege it is to be alive, to think, to enjoy, to love.

Marcus Aurelius, Meditations (via the-book-diaries)

The world is indeed full of peril, and in it there are many dark places; but still there is much that is fair, and though in all lands love is now mingled with grief, it grows perhaps the greater.

J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring (via the-book-diaries)

I cannot wait to publish the chapters of my fic that give these vibes. Currently wishing I could just mass upload the whole thing.

Scorpius: This is my gran, Narcissa.

Rose: Pleasure.

Narcissa: Well, hello there!

Narcissa: Now, do you prefer being called Rose or Satan's Mistress? Because we've heard it both ways.

If you’re an artist, then this is for you.

This year, I want you to be unapologetic when you create.

Don’t apologize for your writing, drawing, music, designs, films, sculptures, cosplays, knitting, sewing, cooking, and anything else I might’ve missed.

Don’t apologize for the quality.

Stop being afraid of what you can accomplish. You might think you can do so much better, well guess what? You will. You’re always improving. But if you start to apologize for the best you can do at this moment, then you might restrain yourself, stop yourself from taking risks that will help you.

I know this is a hard thing to stop. I do it all the time. When I submit art to people that I’m not so confident about, I’ll apologize in advance.

This year, I challenge you, and myself, to stop doing it.

I need someone who will actually stay by my side, no matter what mood I’m in.

You can’t stay in your corner of the Forest waiting for others to come to you. You have to go to them sometimes.

A.A. Milne, Winnie the Pooh (via the-book-diaries)

This is the problem with dealing with someone who is actually a good listener. They don’t jump in on your sentences, saving you from actually finishing them, or talk over you, allowing what you do manage to get out to be lost or altered in transit. Instead, they wait, so you have to keep going.

Sarah Dessen, Just Listen (via the-book-diaries)
