Like. The quote “I do not love the bright sword for its sharpness, nor the arrow for its swiftness, nor the warrior for his glory. I love only that which they defend” is such an integral quote/concept to LOTR that I just cannot for the life of me comprehend how people come away from LOTR inspired to write the grimdark i-love-war-and-suffering stories that populate fantasy

Do you ever think to yourself "I was put on this world for what reason? The people here move too fast and talk too loud and I can never see the stars as clearly as I want to. The animals are sick and the forests are dying and for what? For nothing. I am so tired and the world is so broken and I am expected to know what all of this means. How can I know what the world needs when I don't even know what I need? Can't life be spent in a forest, making jam? Why can't the world stop fighting with itself and why can't we at least slow down? We are exhausting ourselves at an impossibly young age. I am weak and I am losing everything I have and I am still so small and useless."

“Maybe we’ll meet again, when we are slightly older and our minds less hectic, and I’ll be right for you and you’ll be right for me. But right now, I am chaos to your thoughts and you are poison to my heart.”

At around 4pm ET yesterday, NASA’s most sophisticated rover yet, Perseverance, landed on Mars. It will spend at least one Mars year—687 Earth days—searching for signs of ancient life on the red planet.
It has a friend waiting: NASA’s Curiosity rover, which landed on Mars in 2012.

The landing of the six-wheeled vehicle marks the third visit to Mars in just over a week. Two spacecraft from the United Arab Emirates and China swung into orbit around the planet on successive days last week. (Bill Ingalls/NASA via AP).

People should not love you despite anything.
They should love you in addition to or because of something.
Your flaws and differences are what make you lovable and attainable.
They are not objects to be cast aside when you are experiencing love.
They should be cherished and acknowledged with kindness.
