The Loveliest Gentlemen, Take II

written by Ava Emasova aka faerielover

Last time I made this list, I forgot to include (shame on me!) a couple of very important, amazing, talented, beautiful men. Here they are::

1. Tom Hiddleston







2. Sam Claflin







3. Daniel Sharman


    





4. Douglas Booth





I leave you with this prettiness. Nighty night.

A Time for Everything

written by Ava Emasova aka faerielover

Here is another optimism boost post. Here I am again, after many months, to say to myself and to you who read this (if anyone actually does) -- that we are, once again, at the precipice. A new year is a new beginning. Happy New year! And happy new resolutions! This time, let's make them count. This time let's stick to the plan. This is our last chance. This is the moment. This is our time. It's now or never. Take it seriously. Work for it. If we don't work for it, we will never achieve greatness. And that is the great truth.

Happiness. This is the main prize, to be collected at the end. I cannot be happy if I fail all the time. I cannot be happy if I don't fail, but only owed to the fact that I didn't even try to do something in the first place. This can go on no longer. No. I say no to laziness, no to insecurity, no to lack of will, no to backing out, no to indifference, no to procrastinating, from now on. NO. Go away. I don't want to see you ever again. This is the only life I have. I need to start living it. Goodbye sadness, goodbye shyness, goodbye doubts, goodbye fear. This is where we part. I will not miss you.

If only it were so easy! If only I hadn't said these things to myself so many times before. And discarded them somewhere along the way, like a paper torn in pieces from my hand. And so it lies, scattered, everywhere and nowhere.

But, since I still haven't received a visit from the lovely Doctor, and since, sadly, I do not own my own TARDIS (I don't count the cardboard one), there's nothing else left to do, but hope. Hope that I can find the strength within myself and be better. Find motivation. Keep my word. Stick to my plans. Work hard. Organize well. Travel. Live.

It's already very late, and I should have been in bed hours ago, so I'm going to wrap this up quickly. I want to share a picture with the Interwebs, a picture that I captured one morning in October, while waiting for the bus, admiring the skies and mesmerized by sun rays caressing the earth. Here, have some hope.




Good night.
