if there's one thing that wrecks me & lives rent free in my mind it's how one of the things katniss puts in the memory book that would "be a crime to forget" is her father's laugh.

i could go on about how burd probably had a memorable laugh. that it was loud or how he laughed with his whole body or how he'd turn away or cover his face with his hands. that he laughed at his own jokes even (and especially when) no one else did, and how he usually couldn't even get through a joke without a bit of laughter. how if he really got going it could be downright obnoxious and how he cried when he laughed too hard or snorted sometimes.

but really the part that gets me is that it's something she never bought up throughout the rest of the series. she brings up his hunting and how much he loved her mother and their time at the lake and the songs he'd sing and his death, of course. but after the war when she's really starting to heal she can remember his laughter. because after so long she can think back to happier times without focusing just on survival or on the threats of the games/the capitol. and she can remember how happy their family was and that see it as something to cherish rather than overlooking it because it was too painful or not as important as survival.

#burd is interesting enough from what little we get of him in sotr #but katniss really has him on a pedestal in the trilogy and i love all of the little details she gives us #anyway i love the line in mj about how there was very little music in her life since her father had died #i'm out here equating music and laughter and love because it's all the same in the everdeen house #anyway!#headcanon.

not to have a moment on my blog but work has been absolute hell this (school) year and it's nice to be able to come here and write or vent or yell about blorbos.

i've definitely been in a bit of a depresh on and off the last few months and am currently riddled with anxiety so am gonna go take a stupid walk for my stupid mental health.

anywhere here's some memes getting me through

And I heard my father's voice joking, "As long as you can find yourself, you'll never starve."

- Katniss Everdeen from 'The Hunger Games' by Suzanne Collins

I highlighted this line immediately because it felt deeper than a simple reference to finding a source of food or something you were named after. Throughout the games, there are constant reminders to not lose yourself (especially through Peeta), your sanity and everything you hold dear. To me, this connects directly to the quotes message of finding yourself as a form of sustenance. In this sense, what sustains a person is not just physical nourishment, but their inner self, your morals, values and sense of identity. Starving doesn't always mean to lack food but can also mean losing yourself. I think that the quote suggests that if you remain grounded, stay true to yourself, and stay focused, you won't lose YOU/Yourself and thus not starve and become a shell of who you once were, as so many others have become.
