I was thinking how amazing it was that the world contained so many lives. Out in these streets people were embroiled in a thousand different matters, money problems, love problems, school problems. People were falling in love, getting married, going to drug rehab, learning how to ice-skate, getting bifocals, studying for exams, trying on clothes, getting their hair-cut and getting born. And in some houses people were getting old and sick and were dying, leaving others to grieve. It was happening all the time, unnoticed, and it was the thing that really mattered.

Listen — are you breathing just a little and calling it a life?

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

Lily stood up then and crossed the floor to sink down beside James. She rested her head on his shoulder, and he leaned his atop of hers. “I’m glad it’s you. I mean, if it had to be anyone, I’d pick you I think.”
“Really?” James asked incredulously. “ I was under the impression that you found me, and I quote, ‘poncy, pigheaded and delusional’.”
“You are, but you’re also the kindest. You have the best family, too. And you’re not half bad looking; at least our kid won’t be ugly.”
They dissolved into a fit of laughter fueled by shock, exhaustion and emotional defeat. “A ginger British-Colombian. Can you imagine?”
“Will you teach them spanish?”
“I’ll have to if they have any hope of communicating with most of my family,” He chuckled. “Will you teach them how to do that thing you can with the flower petals?”
“Advanced transfiguration?” Lily huffed. “Sure, easy business for a toddler.”
“It’ll be fine, James.” Lily said, as if she was reading his mind. He wondered idly if she was, her legilimency skills were scary good, but he didn’t have any niggling feelings of intrusion in his head. “We’ll do this together.”
“Never ignore a person who loves you, cares for you and misses you.”

I turned out liking you a lot more than I originally planned.
(via love-diaries)
I have seen her straight out of bed.
Bed hair, bed eyes and bed smile.
Lying on her favourite pillow, with her favourite cover
Drawn up her body like the most fragile ferocious shield
Waking up after a night that seems to go on forever;
Relentless, tiresome ticking away of seconds that gushed in with anxiety and misery.
I have seen her calling it a night when the sun is about to shine and waking up feeling perplexed with no recollection of how she survived the darkness.
I have seen her straight out of bed and she has looked like the most exotic and lonely thing to walk Earth.
And I do not remember loving anyone else so fiercely.
The greatest adventure is what lies ahead. Today and tomorrow are yet to be said. The chances, the changes are all yours to make. The mold of your life is in your hands to break.
J.R.R. Tolkien, The Hobbit (via the-book-diaries)
