"Forgive what I am about to say," she says without sounding very apologetic "but I find those who fight a battle with nothing to gain to be fools. It is good then, Mr. Black, Mr. Lupin, that you are not hopeless fools. Those who fight without a goal, guided only by the pure good intentions of the heart, are destined to lose, for it is only by having a purpose that we can endure the adversities to come. It is the prospect of the future, whatever we hope awaits us on the other side, that drives us to keep fighting... No war has ever been won, but by those who fight with a purpose."

hi! i dont normally post here, i also tend to avoid posting anywhere besides on friends servers on discord, i did and still do post on my instagram, cran.lemons but am gonna move on over to here and post more as instagram is a very toxic space, as well as twitter and other platforms, tumblr seems to be more of a 'safe' place for artists and a step back and a do over for platforms, 2024 is a new year time to start a new space <3
The days are very long and very short... Everything takes forever. This slow, sort of numbing waiting and then rushing and taking care of this and that and then one gets to the end of the day and you want it all back to do again but also for it all to be over.
