I consider myself a perpetual student. You seek and learn every day: from an experiment in the lab, from reading a scientific journal, from taking care of a patient. Because of this, I rarely get bored.

I have never been one for loving shallowly. My feelings for those I love run deeper into the earth than the roots of a giant oak tree. When I fall in love, I fall into the deep end of the pool. I have no intentions of loving anyone who will not do the same for me.

All I ever wanted was to reach out and touch another human being not just with my hands but with my heart.

I loved the smell of ocean water. Salt always smells like memory.

      “D’you think she actually believes she’s being subtle?” Sigyn’s voice was hushed despite the abrupt bluntness of her question—and the fact that she was prodding a little aggressively at something on her plate while her eyes followed their only fellow victor down the table. Because it wasn’t suspicious at ALL for her to pointedly seat them both exactly here and then wander off to do her own thing. “I don’t think she cares, honestly.”

Being empathic means: ‘To be with another in this way means that for the time being you lay aside the views and values you hold for yourself in order to enter another’s world without prejudice. In some sense it means that you lay aside your self and this can only be done by a person who is secure enough in himself that he knows he will not get lost in what may turn out to be the strange or bizarre world of the other, and can comfortably return to his own world when he wishes. Perhaps this description makes clear that being empathic is a complex, demanding, strong yet subtle and gentle way of being.’

Romantic Encapsulated Handmade Jewelry by Kay Bells

Artist and owner Kay Bells of the indie boutique Ruby Robin creates stunning handmade pieces, which are encapsulated with quiet reminders of nature. Bells aim is to capture the inspiring beauty and vulnerability of flowers into a romantic token, which could be worn every day. With a whimsical and victorian sensibility, Bells’ handmade jewelry resembles an object worn by fairies in a mystical forest. She explains:

“My handcrafted jewellery is designed to allow the quiet beauty of nature to shine, to stir the imagination, inspire wonder and encapsulate a microcosm of long forgotten memories. I make my jewellery using a range of strange and beautiful curiosities, found in the woods and on the mountain sides, on the windswept beaches and wild meadows.”

You can find more ethereal designs on her Etsy shop.

I don’t even mind that life made me wait so long to find you. The waiting only made the finding sweeter.

✧ Tropes vs. Sigyn [1/?]

Neutral Good [x] 

Will usually comply with laws if doing so benefits the greater good, but rebel against those they consider unjust or which conflict with the greater good. They value freedom and will do what they can to protect the freedom of others, as long as it’s not used to do harm.

Good is Not Soft [x] 

A genuinely friendly, sociable, caring person who is always looking out for their friends and family and trying to do the right thing—but that niceness doesn’t extend to giving free passes to the truly vile and horrific among their enemies.

Badass Pacifist [x] 

A person who, without doing anything violent, is much more awesome than many of us will ever be. They command respect even though they never go on the offensive, especially those who prove capable of defeating an enemy without using any violence whatsoever.
