I have so much love and respect for women who are honest about their own loneliness but also find the good in it like when audrey hepburn said “I have to be alone very often. I’d be quite happy if I spent from Saturday night until Monday morning alone in my apartment. That’s how I refuel” and when charlotte bronte said “I care for myself. The more solitary, the more friendless, the more unsustained I am, the more I will respect myself” and when jenny slate said “I think I’ve come to terms with the fact that there will always be a ribbon of loneliness running through who I am. But that’s why I want to do comedy, and why I want to connect with people. You can use that ribbon to be a part of a finer tapestry, or you can choke yourself out with it! Your choice!” and when mary oliver said “whoever you are, no matter how lonely, the world offers itself to your imagination, calls to you like the wild geese, harsh & exciting - over & over announcing your place in the family of things”

not the big dick energy of bilbo baggins to be named a hero in Erebor, Dale and Mirkwood and then promptly fuck off back home where everyone thought he was a crackhead and his relatives were literally waiting on him to die already, live a stupidly long amount of time just to spite them, give all his money to some random relative he adopted, and then fuck off to rivendell of all places and spend the rest of his days making fun of elrond while eating his food and living in his home rent free.
