This is one of my favorite quote/poems, and it's true to life. It's called Invictus, by W.E. Henley
OUT of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbow'd.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

Such a nice day out today, here in southern Oklahoma. Soon it will be very hot, then I might reconsider. Fishing and camping and lake season is well undner way! Wish I could drive my car, I'd really like to go to the lake today, or tomorrow or this coming weekend. Today has been a very strange day. I feel like I'm in limbo or something. I've been very bored, to the point of distraction, but at the same time, haven't felt like doing anything. I hope that doesn't mean I'll be fighting depression again- restlessness is usually one of the first symptoms for me. I really should be working on my two fanfic stories Changes and His Sister's Keeper, but I just havne't been in the mood, which is kind of strange. I also have a couple other story ideas in my head, but have't got up the nerve to start them yet. I always feel like I'm building the story ideas up in my head in a way that makes it impossible for me to meet my own expectations. Sometimes it's true, but that's just because sometimes things don't work out the way you want. My own critisism is my biggest flaw. Maybe tomorrow I can get some work on the stories. I hope so, they're both kind of popular in their respective categories, and I know what it's like to have to wait for the next chapter on a favorite fic.
I'll be the first to admit it- I spend a good amount of time in the land of fiction. I read books like I'll starve without them, I'm addicted to fanfiction on the internet, I write fanfiction and original fiction of my own, and I have a few tv shows I hate to miss. One of those tv shows is Criminal Minds and I watched the season finale tonight. Be warned: spoilers following. I've dedicated myself to making a blanket for each my siblings and my mom. It's quite and undertaking, and I'm not sure I'm going to get a chance to finish them before I'm gone. I'm maybe a quarter finished with Kim's, a pink and brown that I'm crocheting. I'm going to do Tia's in Black and Red. Kevin wants his to be a quilt, so that'll be my first quilting lesson! Haven't decided about the others yet, though. If I can figure out how, I'd like to make Tia's red cherries on a black background- I think she'd like that one. We shall see! |
