Why did you stop liveblogging WoT? Have you taken a break from reading it? i know it's a gigantic series, I wouldn't blame you if you did. But you're so close to the end! The last four books woosh by! The story threads long forgotten get pulled back into the pattern and SO MUCH awesomeness happens! I hope you haven't given up when you're this far in and so close to the end! Love your blog, btw. my likes are from this act but my reblogs all go to thewindwasabeginning. yay sideblogs.

hello sweetie! gosh you’ve given my activity quite a spike in the past few days, I’m flattered ^^

and yes I’m taking a bit of a break. I’ve bingeread most of the series in a relatively short time and felt like I needed some time away with other authors. not to mention my days have been kinda cluttered lately - I actually came back onto tumblr for a little bit today because I was thinking of restarting again soon and was greeted by all your sweet comments : )

so, I will continue. that much is certain. maybe even relatively soon.thanks for being a darling, and I’m glad you enjoyed yourself reading my ramblings!

miss-devonaire reblogged your post: i hate being pitied. it's like you said, pity's...

Empathy over pity any day. Pity is basically “oh poor you!” And empathy is “I see and acknowledge your pain, and am here to support you”. Pity is almost like someone is looking down on you. Empathy is someone offering an arm to steady yourself with.

yeah, I totally agree! maybe empathy doesn’t have to be immediate - maybe you don’t have to be able to understand exactly what’s going on in a person’s brain straight away to be empathetic. maybe it’s just about sticking around long enough, being that steadying arm long enough, to be able to understand and share their experience. like Sam Gamgee and Frodo Baggins. “I can’t carry it for you... but I can carry you!”
