Where now the horse and the rider?

Should've been a kiwi horse girl in the 90s on the frontlines of the Rohirrim charge screaming 'DEATH!' but instead I'm just some girl in Europe trying to navigate the zeitgeist. “There is but one good; that is God. Everything else is good when it looks to Him and bad when it turns from Him.“ - C.S.Lewis "A day may come when the courage of Men fails, when we forsake our friends, and break all bonds of fellowship, but it is not this day. An hour of wolves and shattered shields when the Age of Men comes crashing down, but it is not this day! This day we fight! By all that you hold dear on this good earth, I bid you stand, Men of the West!" - J.R.R.Tolkien

ouagh lord of the rings really did say “it might be hopeless, it might be fatal, there may be no coming back— but it is always, always better to do something, to fight for what is good and true and beautiful, than to sit back and give into despair with an ‘it would have happened anyhow’”

i know, i know, having hope in times like this seems completely irrational and scary. its so much easier just to acknowledge that everything is fucked. however, at times, we must look within and take a chance. after all, fear and dismissal don't solve problems - hope and faith do. you can go nowhere with wanting change if you dont believe in it. so, waking up, choosing to be there, choosing to truly believe - fuck thats the bravest thing you can do
