fun fact about me: if you ever write me a letter or leave me a little note, I’ll probably keep it for the rest of my life. I’m ridiculously sentimental like that small words mean more to me than people realize.
I read a quote that said, “you can be the prettiest shade of green, but you’ll never be enough for someone whose favorite color is blue," and it really stuck with me.
someone said "if you don't let people experience the consequences of their actions towards u, you will remain a safe place for their worst behavior" and I couldn't agree more
Men deleted one of our ORGANS from medical textbooks. Men DELETED one of our ORGANS from MEDICAL TEXTBOOKS THAT IT WAS ALREADY IN.
Because they considered our ORGAN "IRRELEVANT".
We are just now studying it and it is a hormone secreting part of the ovaries that may hold the key to treatment of menopause. The paper from last year is titled "Rediscovering the Rete Ovarii".
They. Deleted. Our. Organs. From. Medical.
Textbooks.
This woman shared that her man paid all the bills while she went to school and raised their kids. Now she’s a registered nurse, and she’s holding things down while he studies engineering. That’s what Partnership looks like
One night I asked my mom how she knew my dad was “the one.” She didn’t say butterflies. She didn’t say grand gestures.
She said, “There was a year I wasn’t okay.”
She told me after I was born, she felt overwhelmed all the time. She stopped talking as much. Stopped laughing as loudly. She said she felt guilty for not being her usual self.
And my dad didn’t demand the “old her” back.
He just started doing small things.
He would wake up earlier to pack her lunch.
He’d fold the laundry without announcing it.
He’d sit beside her on the couch and just hold her hand without asking a single question.
She said one night she finally cried and told him she felt like she was failing at everything.
He didn’t interrupt.
Didn’t give a motivational speech.
Didn’t say “but you have so much to be grateful for.”
He just listened.
And the next week?
He didn’t treat her like she was fragile.
Didn’t bring it up during arguments.
Didn’t use it as proof that she was “too emotional.”
He loved her the same. Calm. Steady. Normal.
My mom looked at me and said,
“That’s when I knew. Love isn’t the loud days. It’s who stays gentle on the quiet ones.”
And suddenly their 20+ years together made sense.
Real love doesn’t panic when you’re not at your best.
It adjusts.
It waits.
It stays.
your SPOUSE is the one who’ll sit beside you when your PARENTS DIE. who’ll hold your hand through CHILDBIRTH. who might have to BATHE YOU if you’re ever too sick to stand. this isn’t just about BUTTERFLIES or DATE NIGHTS. it’s about choosing someone who SHOWS UP... in GRIEF, in MESS, in UNCERTAINTY. so no, LOVE ALONE isn’t enough. COMMITMENT, MATURITY, and the ability to ENDURE life’s ugly parts... that’s what sustains a MARRIAGE. because when life gets PAINFULLY REAL, ROMANCE won’t carry you... CHARACTER will. and the truth is, FOREVER is only possible with someone who knows how to STAY when it’s HARD TO LOVE
Drogon’s reaction was the most human moment in the entire finale.
Seeing a creature of pure fire reduced to a whimpering, grieving child was devastating.
When he nudged Dany’s body, hoping she’d wake up, it shattered me. He didn’t just lose a rider; he lost his mother. His scream wasn't a war cry—it was a eulogy.
By sparing Jon (not just because he's a Targaryen) and incinerating the seat of power, Drogon broke the wheel himself. He realized that the hunger for that chair cost him his mother and his brothers.
He left the ashes of King’s Landing behind, taking her home to the East where it all began.
