someday, someone, somewhere.

Oh, they have robbed me of the hope my spirit held so dear; They will not let me hear that voice my soul delights to hear. They will not let me see that face I so delight to see; And they have taken all thy smiles, And all thy love from me. Well, let them seize on all they can; One treasure still is mine, A heart that loves to think on thee And feels the worth of thine.

I could think of him day and night; and I could feel that he was worthy to be thought of. Nobody knew him as I did; nobody could appreciate him as I did; nobody could love him as I–could. ― Agnes Grey, by Anne Brontë.

At this point in the novel Agnes is distraught because Weston is about to leave the parish, and she fears she will never see him again; this compares with the fact that Weightman had left and Anne would never see him on this earth again. Agnes then reveals one of her poems, one of her ‘pillars of witness’ as she refers to them, which is in fact Anne’s poem ‘Oh They Have Robbed Me of the Hope’. The lines that Agnes ends this poem with, within the novel, and her commentary on them are very revealing of Anne’s thoughts in the days, months and years following Weightman’s death.

i posted a few weeks ago about two baby kittens that were abandoned outside of my work, and it turns out one of them, who we've named dinah, had a rare medical condition called pectus excavatum that required corrective surgery. fortunately we caught it early which makes it easier to fix, but unfortunately it cost thousands of dollars. this is not my cat and i'm not planning on keeping her, but i couldn't resist getting her the care she needed after someone literally left her in a hot parking lot. the day after her surgery i ended up rushing her to the ER because of some breathing problems, so that just added to everything. also a few weeks before this i had to pay thousands of dollars for my own cat to undergo a medical procedure due to an infection she developed and so i am really struggling to keep up with all these vet bills

i've made a gofundme to try and help cover the costs of dinah's vet bills and i would truly appreciate any help anyone is able to provide, genuinely anything helps. i've never charged for gif/icon/header requests before, but if you'd like something made in exchange, i will absolutely take requests 🙏 examples of my gifs are here!

she's truly the sweetest girl and i just really want her healthy before her and her sister are able to find a forever home <3

A formidable fledgling.

A consummate killer,
