There was silence in the room, broken only by gentle thuds, as Hermione continued to throw books on to one pile or the other. Ron sat watching her, and Harry looked from one to the other, unable to say anything. The measures they had taken to protect their families made him realise, more than anything else could have done, that they really were going to come with him and that they knew exactly how dangerous that would be. He wanted to tell them what that meant to him, but he simply could not find words important enough.
gonna fuck around and start saying i DO condone the actions of my problematic fav fictional characters
Reasons to be hopeful:
- for the times you thought it wouldn’t get better, it always did
- you’ve always gotten back up from rock bottom on your own, it just took time
- some days are simply lovelier than others for no particular reason, so please don’t imagine the future as completely bleak
- achieving your dreams is a possibility
- it takes time to mend your heart, love yourself and grow into the person you hope to become
- it’s possible to create a comforting life for yourself with what you have, and it’s possible to have a meaningful life
- the future holds possibilities and good things that you think would never happen to you at the moment. feeling hopeless doesn’t mean things are truly hopeless.

schitt's creek really said You are not too much. You are not stupid or broken. You are never done growing and learning. You are not your worst mistakes. You are worthy and deserving of love and you will receive love that is real and joyful and forever.
