Where now the horse and the rider?

i'm on the side of people who live close to nature and close to God. i find increasingly little common ground with anyone else

whenever I confess to people that i feel like I am just roleplaying as a normal person they're always like noooo you don't strike me as someone who's roleplaying as a normal person at all!!! :) and every time internally im like well yes that's because I am excellent at it

ouagh lord of the rings really did say “it might be hopeless, it might be fatal, there may be no coming back— but it is always, always better to do something, to fight for what is good and true and beautiful, than to sit back and give into despair with an ‘it would have happened anyhow’”

i know, i know, having hope in times like this seems completely irrational and scary. its so much easier just to acknowledge that everything is fucked. however, at times, we must look within and take a chance. after all, fear and dismissal don't solve problems - hope and faith do. you can go nowhere with wanting change if you dont believe in it. so, waking up, choosing to be there, choosing to truly believe - fuck thats the bravest thing you can do
