The Devil Within

Video Miss Poison Music , , ,

Apparently I’ve shared this song before, but it’s too good to pass up at the moment.

I forget, at times, that I began on WordPress nine years ago. In that time, shows have begun and ended, etc. Pretty Little Liars is one of the only shows I’ve watched from start to finish multiple times, and still found little things I’d previously missed.

It is a very easy series of books to get through, and it’s oddly relatable, even as an adult. I read about half of them long before the show hit the air in 2010, and I remember how the last one ended. It was left open-ended, and I remember thinking how easily it could become a story again up the road. While a different version of the show is currently filming, nothing compares to the original. They will be hard-pressed to come up with better music, too.

Be Patient. Be Present. Be Grateful.

Miss Poison July, My Best Friend , , , ,

Today I want to express my gratitude to, and for, my best friend. It’s her birthday and I would not survive from year-to-year without her support, absolute dedication to our friendship, and her unconditional love. She is the most amazing, talented, kind, caring person who is so devoted to family and friends. She has an amazing heart. I am so grateful to not only have her as my sister, but to have her as a true best friend. I thank G-d for blessing me (and the world) with her existence. She is my compass and constant Girl’s Girl. As I told her the other day, WE ARE A TEAM.

Life is as long as it is short, and we NEED real friends in our corner. Relationships come and go. We lose people along the way. It’s a vicious cycle, and many of us have more in common than we realize. No matter how many demons or dragons I have to slay, I know she’s got my back with a fresh sword, and that means everything to me.

Happy birthday, Shan-Shan. Love you.

Value Your Parabatai

Quote Miss Poison Quotes , , , , , , , , ,

“Value your parabatai,” he said. “For it is a precious bond. All love is precious. It is why we do what we do. Why do we fight demons? Why are they not fit custodians of this world? What makes us better? It is because they do not build, but destroy. They do not love, but hate only. We are human and fallible, we Shadowhunters. But if we did not have the capability to love, we could not guard humans; we must love to guard them. My parabatai, he loved like few ever could love, with all and everything. I see you are like that too; it burns more brightly in you than the fire of Heaven”
―Cassandra Clare
