I am going to live as happily as I’ve dreamed, for as long as my body is able. And I will know that my spirit is stronger than that body.
And I won’t let anyone make me fee like l am less than I am.
I don’t believe in failure. I was not taught that way.

A year later, I broke...

I’ve killed 2 dragons, learned 4 Shouts, and am currently making my way through a fire dungeon to steal the horn of some dude. And man do I have some things to barter. Also, am a master thief.
Thank Mara I can’t take this home with me.

House Montage
A year ago, my parents bought a new foreclosed house in Alabama, where I am currently visiting for Christmas. In that year, much has changed. Observe:
My room, already messy after only one night. It is filled with nothing but pictures of me in my most awkward adolescent years.
My sister’s room, currently in said awkward adolescent stage.
My sister’s office/playroom/something...
So tired.
No more running back and forth.
But flying today.
As always, I love you.
Hope I make it.
What I know is all I know until there is time to create more.

Well. Consider me reassured that when you shoot me, your aim will be true.
Niceties
Sometimes, you can’t just rely on your own strength when the future seems so inevitably bleak.
It has to be enough to walk out and enjoy the sunlight on your face and the sweet anticipation of seeing a well-loved friend.
