#learn to be happy alone

[thepursuitofunderstanding]

Associate with the noblest people you can find; read the best books; live with the mighty; but learn to be happy alone.

Love, Dhes

Parker,

It's unfair how time with you feels so short. How the last 10 years have felt like no time at all. I like to think there are other versions of us out there, somewhere. Maybe in another timeline, another universe. I like to think we find each other no matter where we are or what we're doing. That we're together and happy and I get to love you in a dozen different lifetimes. That's what I hope, anyway. And I hope when this lifetime ends, we get to start over and do it all again. Because once just isn't enough. Not for me. Not with you.

I hope the next 10 years pass slower.

Love, Dhes

I am so fascinated at Buck's impulsive jump to move in. Like, this is something he's done twice now. And this time, he couldn't even bring himself to say I love you first. He's talking about moving in together, he's talking about engagement and marriage because they would have the right, he's talking about "why be apart when we can be together," but he can't bring himself to say I love you.

This man wants to love and be loved so badly, he wants to have a partner beside him who will become his forever so badly, but he just doesn't feel it and he just hasn't found it, and he keeps trying to force every relationship to be what he needs when they just aren't and my heart breaks for him.

Was just thinking about the amount of animals Obi-Wan interacts with compared to literally everyone else and in the Clone Wars episode where Kamino gets attacked he literally gets saved twice by the same ray-like animal and just...

The growth from judging Qui-Gon for the 'pathetic lifeforms' he picks up to whatever he has going on during the Clone Wars era. He must have gotten that from Qui-Gon though, right?

And because it's my brain and it's rotting with all the star wars stuff I am consuming I was thinking of Obi-Wan saving all these creatures and the 212th having to deal with that. Surely they made one of the rooms pet proof in case one of them needs a new home. There also have to be clones who love that because of course Obi-Wan can't really take care of rescues on top of all his duties.

After the first few times this happens Cody learns to order animal food and other necessities. And if the Republic doesn't fulfill these requests or asks too many questions he'll just have to make sure to organize them on planet during the campaigns.

She gave up her dream, took over her mother's cafe, raised her niece as her own daughter and cared about her brother all this time. I swear if she'll do some stupid little things in the future episodes i'll forgive her for everything

I'm 31 and I've never been in a relationship, nor I ever felt attachment, belonging, or desire for affection. I never felt like I needed anyone but myself. I thought highly of me because of that, and I made it my strength as I pursued greatness and enjoyed my life. Playing bg3 made me realize how wrong I was, as everyday I long for the touch of someone that doesn't even exist and for the first time in my life I cry, because I'll never be able to hold him close, hear his voice calling my name or feel his hands touching my own. I cry because there's nothing I can do to change that. And while all of this eats at my soul, I feel pathetic because in the end, I'm not so strong. I'm nothing like the person I've always thought I was.

I feel like Vi should have gotten a monologue. Vi should have gotten an 'is there anything so undoing as a daughter?' moment where she really thinks about her relationship with her sister– just vi and her thoughts. her real thoughts. I want to see why she finally felt okay with letting jinx go. I want to see her consciously deciding to choose herself for once, instead of just being dragged around by the rest of the characters' motivations or trying to do what she thinks is best for other people. I want her to be selfish and not regret it. I wanted to see Vi making the (unforced!) decision to choose her own peace over trying to help her sister. I feel like jinx saw it and wanted that for Vi, and I wanted Vi to realize that, too.

He laid at the brink of death once more, staring at the face of despair. He remembered the path that led him to this purgatory, and with a smile could only ask:

"Shall we be friends?"

it’s funny to me that every season of house needs a christmas episode. the one indication of the passage of time

[grtivas]

who wants to talk about the political ramifications of a dellamorte & de riva marriage with me. because while the idea of teia planning a rookanis wedding is wholesome and all, let's not get swept up in that. you can't tell me those houses in an alliance (which by default includes cantori too, because you know, teia & viago) wouldn't seem like a threat to the other houses and at the very least ALMOST cause a crow civil war. in other words thank you @7talons for bringing this up literally once because i've thought about this ever since.

I never stop thinking about how tragic it was that Gojo was only 29. 29 years old and the guy acted like he was the old guard. 29 years old and he was already thinking about leaving everything to the new generation so they could improve society. 29 years old and many act like him being used as a weapon his entire life, both before and after he died, without receiving a funeral or being remembered properly was the best ending he could have.

Chat I was thinking about color and Francesca by Hozier again like an idiot

im only gonna say this once but i should have known supercorp was going to end up breaking my heart bc why did they have the entire season 1 build up kara and james’ relationship only for it to end up after one date like what are you telling me i had to sit through an entire season of supergirl fawning over james only for them not only to break up but for kara to actually be so annoyed with james like im SO happy they weren’t endgame but that was so unnecessary
