She Didn’t Need A Protector Or A Rescuer. But She Did Need Him.

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)

you know these moments when a friend just casually says something that validates your friendship, like just refers to something as “our place” or “our thing” and suddenly your heart is auditioning for Cirque du Soleil and days later you’re still thinking about it

You look so pretty, Pretty like the sun. I could watch forever While you shine on everyone.

IT (2017), dir. Andy Muschietti

Isn’t giving up allowed sometimes? Isn’t it okay to say, ‘This really hurts, so I’m going to stop trying?’ ‘It sets a dangerous precedent.’ ‘For avoiding pain?’ ‘For avoiding life.’

An early update with Chapter TWO for It Happened One Night. Come check it out and let me know what you think!!

did you take the pictures on your banner/ prof pic? they're cute!

Thank you honey! Yes, I did. They're both pictures I took on a recent holiday. Highly recommend the chai at Thinking Cup in Boston, MA (the profile photo) and a trip to the Boston Public Library (banner photo)-I felt like I'd died and gone to literary heaven in there.

Brave doesn’t mean you’re not scared. It means you go on even though you’re scared.
