I grew up as an academic achiever, straight A student you would say. Nevertheless sometimes i still get a C or even lower. No, getting bad grades is never a curse for me.

Once upon a time, i went back from school with my math exam paper. Red massive zero on top of it, looks like a cherry. I handed it to my parents at the living room. Staring at my toes, waiting while they reading it. My teacher said I will get into a trouble the second i handed the paper to my parents. It's been 5 seconds, and the only thing i hear from my parents is laugh, they cracked and say "don't you dare feel sad or think we feel dissapointed with your score-" they can't even finish the sentence, laughing too hard. "At least you bring an egg for us, let's cook it for our lunch!" Just like that they get up and hug me. My dad holds my hand walking to the kitchen while my mom preparing our lunch. I don't know where that exam paper went, maybe my dad made a paper plane from it and threw it away. My soul still confused, eyes staring blankly. But i know one thing for sure.

Now i know the big impact of how parents treat their kids and how parents look at their kids when they get bad grades can impact how kids perceive scores and school life. Grades are important, but your kid's mental health is the most crucial part.

ten’s season with donna is really just. you will find your twin flame. you will fail to save so many people. your twin flame will save you again and again. you won’t be able to save her. you will forget what it means to be human. you will laugh more than you have in years. you will struggle to do the right thing. you will remember to care because your best friend is there to remind you. you will fall in love with the universe all over again. the universe will show you the cruelest things it has to offer. you will heal from your wounds. you will never forget your pain. you will be there when it matters. you will have to walk away. you will get back the woman that you love. you will have to say goodbye. your twin flame will promise to stay with you forever. she will forget you ever existed. you will become a new man. you will become this man again.

Ninquë silë misë nár.

Nó[na] silmë anda[né].

(A white fire shines within her

The light of a star, born long ago.)

Mithrandir. Gwenwin în únodui.

(Mithrandir. It has been a long time.)

Nae nin gwistant infanneth, mal ú-eichia i Chíril Lorien

(Age may have changed me, but not so the Lady of Lorien.)

Galadriel's hair gleaming in the moonlight, the beautiful night view of Imladris and of course the music that adds an incredible aura to the scene make this scene one of my favorite scenes in The Hobbit.

(I hope one day the full lyrics of the song will be shared...)

Btw the song is 'The White Council'

You held tight onto her arms. You try not to think too hard about what's happening, but.. It's kind of hard to ignore the fact the WARP train is delayed so much. - Anonymous idiot who read all of your posts

you think you're just imagining things, at first. it's only been a minute, nothing's wrong. five minutes, that's fine. ten minutes, surely you'll arrive soon. her grip around your shoulders tightens when the delay reaches the twenty minute mark, holding you firmly as the other passengers begin to panic

"Keep your head," she murmurs with a stoic expression. "Take a deep breath." her hand moves to caress your cheek, grounding both you and her to reality with a simple touch

it's Binah that keeps you marginally sane during the thousand years, cradling you and patting your head when you feel everything slipping away. she never says it, but you're her only thread to sanity as well, holding her hands when you glimpse the minute twitches and trembles. you're getting out of here. even if she has to become an amalgamation of flesh and bones, as long as you're safe and sound.
