Full of darkness and danger they were. And sometimes you didn’t want to know the end. Because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it’s only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you. That meant something, even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back, only they didn’t. They kept going, because they were holding on to something.        Frodo: What are we holding onto, Sam?     Sam: That there’s some good in this world, Mr. Frodo.

Today, I slept in until 10,

Cleaned every dish I own,

Fought with the bank,

Took care of paperwork.

You and I might have different definitions of adulthood.

I don’t work for salary, I didn’t graduate from college,

But I don’t speak for others anymore,

And I don’t regret anything I can’t genuinely apologize for.

And my mother is proud of me.

I burnt down a house of depression,

I painted over murals of greyscale,

And it was hard to rewrite my life into one I wanted to live

But today, I want to live.

I didn’t salivate over sharp knives,

Or envy the boy who tossed himself off the Brooklyn bridge.

I just cleaned my bathroom,

did the laundry,

called my brother.

• "This life is what you make it. No matter what, you're going to mess up sometimes, it's a universal truth. But the good part is you get to decide how you're going to mess it up. Girls will be your friends - they'll act like it anyway. But just remember, some come, some go. The ones that stay with you through everything - they're your true best friends. Don't let go of them. Also remember, sisters make the best friends in the world. As for lovers, well, they'll come and go too. And baby, I hate to say it, most of them - actually pretty much all of them are going to break your heart, but you can't give up because if you give up, you'll never find your soulmate. You'll never find that half who makes you whole and that goes for everything. Just because you fail once, doesn't mean you're gonna fail at everything. Keep trying, hold on, and always, always, always believe in yourself, because if you don't, then who will, sweetie? So keep your head high, keep your chin up, and most importantly, keep smiling, because life's a beautiful thing and there's so much to smile about" - Marilyn Monroe
