"Man, what a treat to get back into this after almost 2 years.
So glad this kind of "welcomed" me with a picture of a vital joyous older man who reminds me of my grandpa:) It´s probably for the better i ended in Levin´s part as that to me is the delightful one. While getting into the pov of Alexander Alexandrovič my brain went on bla bla bla whatever mode.
i love the nature and simple lives of everyday people here."

“So, like … medium intense? Since a lion is kind of a tannish color?”
“No, they’re orange.” I frowned. “Aren’t they? I’ve never actually seen one.”
“I think tigers are the orange ones,” Mizzy said. “But they’re still only half orange, since they have black stripes. Maybe you should be intense like an orange is orange.”
“Too obvious,” I said. “I’m intense like a lion is tannish.” Did that work? Didn’t exactly slip off the tongue.”
Brandon Sanderson, Firefight

“I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together".”
Marylin Monroe
