    “I wish that none of this had happened”

    “so do all who live too see such times, but that is not for them to decide. all we have to decide, is what to do with the time that is given to us.”

    as hard as it to reconcile with the world disintegrating when you’re coming together as a person (I’m in the same boat) I find the above quote gives me some courage to accept such a condition and to act steadfastly instead, as a testament that life is worth living and fighting for

      Gandalf’s line is probably my favorite from the book. You can only control what you can control. Do what you can, and know at the end of the day that you did your best, regardless of the outcome.
