I used to think that one day life would be mostly happy or mostly sad, but it’s so much more. It’s bits of joy, beauty and love wrapped in indescribable grief, brokenness, and despair, all held together by love that is here, memory of love come before, and hope in love to come.

Over time I’m trying to come more to terms with the fact that I will probably have a small, ordinary life, without much influence. But a small life lived with compassion and hope, is not really so little. And it doesn’t feel small to the people you love, either.

I was once told by my pastor that Jesus would not have “wasted” his blood on those who would reject Him, and that’s why it only applies to the elect. And yet it seems to me that is the very sort of thing my Christ WOULD do

It’s so STUPID, because of COURSE you’re a burden sometimes; so am I. That’s how we are! We cannot always stand. But i love you, and that means I delight in carrying you. You are heavy; but when I feel your weight in my arms I remember why I am alive. Being a burden is no sin.

It's been a busy year for NARNIA Netflix news! Greta Gerwig will direct at least two movies for Netflix, with Netflix's Scott Stuber saying they may be adapted out of order. That aligns with our sources telling us Netflix is eying to begin with The Silver Chair.

If you identify as a highly sensitive person, and esp if you’re AFAB, I HIGHLY recommend investigating whether you are actually autistic and unconsciously masking. Try to put aside what you think you know about autism and actually look into it
