I wish this year to be full of truth. I hope that when I enter into the White West that I will understand what it means to truly be myself.

“I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.
"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.” 
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring



“What do you fear, lady?" Aragorn asked. 
"A cage," Éowyn said. "To stay behind bars, until use and old age accept them, and all chance of doing great deeds is gone beyond recall or desire.” 
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Return of the King



“ I didn't think it would end this way.

 End? No, the journey doesn't end here. Death is just another path, one that we all must take. The grey rain curtain of this world rolls back, and all turns to silver glass, and then you see it.

 What? Gandalf? See what?

 White shores, and beyond, a far green country under a swift sunrise.

Well, that isn't so bad.

 No. No, it isn't.” 
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings

I watched this movie yesterday, and I have never felt more alive. I felt as though I understood what every single character was going through, It was odd, like a dream....I felt pity for Gollum, and I had sympathy for Boromir. My eyes saw the pain in Aragorn's eyes. How by becoming the King of Gondor, he is also accepting the weakness of Isildur. I had empathy for how much Arwen truly does love Aragorn, and how very hard it was for him to leave her. It's as if I could feel the wind in the trees and smell the sweet water of the Ents. I had seen Eowyn's soul through her stature, so vividly alive, so magically wondrous! I admired Frodo's close friendship with the other Hobbits, but had sadness in my heart for the journey that becomes his burden and his alone. I actually understood what they were saying, but in a way I never had before. I hope that there is something inside me that is changing, I hope my person is growing into a fairer Knight each and every day, I one day want to conquer my fears like Boromir, and always have Hope like Aragorn. Believe in myself like Eowyn, and become my destiny, my legacy, my soul.






“End? No, the journey doesn't end here. Death is just another path, one that we all must take. The grey rain-curtain of this world rolls back, and all turns to silver glass, and then you see it.”

"I would have followed you, my brother; my captain; my king."

“How do you go on, when in your heart you begin to understand... there is no going back? There are some things that time cannot mend. Some hurts that go too deep.”

My sister has been reading aloud t h e s a n d m a n a n d t h e w a r o f d r e a m s . I am completely enthralled. Sanderson's magic glass spaceship is full of hammocks, so I want to be there and sleep in them while he soars through the galaxy! I am quite enjoying Pitch's rapid descent into insanity and the overall whimsical feel of Nightlight and THE GUARDIANS. I simply cannot wait until Jack Frost's novel, Hurry William, Hurry.

Things that I love about Ever After High

Their characters are original and unique!

Daring is with Rosabella Beauty.

I love how Darling Charming awoke Apple White with a kiss.

Every time I watch it I feel like my dreams are closer than they ever were before. I feel more like myself after I watch an episode.

The doll design for Ever After High is really cool! they look so youthful.

I want to make my own dresses after watching this show!

It is not only about discovering your destiny but more about choosing it.

I can only strive to be as magically wondrous! as all the students at Ever After High,  And I hope that someday I certainly will.


It is never too late to find your destiny
