If someone cares deeply for you as they say they do, and they truly wishes to be part of your life, they will make an effort to be in it.
No reasons. No excuses. No easy distractions. No lies.
Nothing will keep them from you.
An important lesson.
Such gifts are greater than gold.

It is said that you will always be lucky if you know how to make friends with strange cats, wild women, wise crones, witty scholars, beautiful souls, and dangerously clever and charming men.
I am happy to report that this is very likely true.
You will also have the makings of a truly legendary party.
Cheers to you all! You know who you are! <3

Spring has returned to Arx and with it a certain magic that leaves me tingling with thoughts of new opportunities and new possibilities.
Good things for others seem to be blossoming with the flowers that reach for the sun. It's lovely to see love is in the air for so many as well.
Seeds planted seem to grow so quickly these days. It makes me smile.
Welcome back, sweet spring. Your magic was missed.

I must admit the company of charming and talented people makes me smile. Arx seems to have no lack of either, thank the gods.
To those with such generous gifts I salute and celebrate you!

It would seem that the Prince is northman in all the best ways.
I had forgotten what it is like to keep company with such a man.
Thank you, sir. For everything.

It occurs to me that there is usually nothing "good" in a goodbye.
Especially when it is the last time you say it to someone you care for.

Relationship Note on Saoirse
Oh, many reasons, dear cousin.
Sometimes we fall, other times we are pushed. But I suppose that if one is not falling or failing every so often, one is not trying enough, yes?
However, it is not the fall that matters. It is the landing and the rising up again that counts most. The inevitable scars we get from this marks the moments of our resilience and experience -- a sometimes all too sharp reminder where we have been, where we are and where we are hoping to go.
I admire those who rise again and fight on despite all. Regardless of their challenges, large or small, that spirit makes me smile. I honour it and respect it.
I hope I can manifest such grace and inner strength. Even more so, I hope I am able to bring good things to others and help them rise when they need to.

Relationship Note on Baltus
Another beautiful evening in my Hart.
A game of chance with Lord Baltus of Darkwater, whose charm, good nature and clever wit I am growing rather fond of, was such brilliant fun. Much to my delight, by the end of the evening we had the most excellent company of Lady Thea, Lady Kaia, Princess Reese, Count Graham among others join the festivities as well.
It was such a perfectly wonderful night. One I hope will be repeated many times over.

Nothing is as important or exhilarating as passion.
That glorious, rich power that comes from deep within and propels you to greater and more beautiful things. Gods, I love it!
No matter what you want to do with your life, be passionate.

Sometimes silence is more a loud and telling answer than hours upon hours of empty words.
Sometimes silence means absolutely nothing at all.
The key, and challenge, is reading it right.

Relationship Note on Caspian
My dearest, most-kind Missere Champion Caspian's gift to the Golden Hart was so very well welcome and so very generous. And much needed, too.
I'm honoured that he might think of us when supporting our city's charities. Though, it does not surprise. He has always been a dear friend and generous benefactor and champion of my Hart.
Truly, there is so many good causes to support and so many beautiful things to do for our peoples and realm. I am glad to be able to add my Hart's assistance to all the good works. However, without the generous support and donations like this we could not do nearly so much.
It his heartening to know that he sees why it is so important to support us. I feel so blessed.
Thank you again, sir. We will see that good things come of your generosity.

I will admit that there are times that I do not understand the entries displayed in the white journals.
I suspect it would be doubly so for the more private entries.
Then again, perhaps this is not a bad thing.
Some things should be remain discreet.

I have been considering many things of late. Most recently, I was wondering if there is great power in not giving a damn about what others think, or more importantly, what they think about you.
I can see both sides to this, but have yet to come to a satisfactory conclusion of my own as to which is the best way of being. To care or not.
Perhaps the answer may be more clear when considered by wise and more experienced minds than my own.

That moment when you wake from another incredible dream and the memory of it begins to melt away by the light of day.
The remnants of it soon misty tatters in your hands. Soft, curling whispers of what was and could have been.
You know it still exists, if only you could remember it.
And yet, somehow, deep in your heart, there is a gentle spark that ripples through your body that says you know you will find it again some day.

It can be so easy to hate when we are hurt and in pain.
Even easier to lash out at others to cause harm and distress.
I have noticed that some find succor and even pleasure in causing pain to others. Some with delight and joyful disdain, others unintentionally. Perhaps acting more out of instinct or blinded by emotions that they might in less heated or less volatile times might
But it never really helps in the end, does it?
Those hungry ghosts of pain, fear and anger are always needing more to stay at bay. And so, some find themselves seeking to cause more and more harm in an effort to ease their own awful feelings.
Perhaps they are blind to the hurts they case. Perhaps they have become slaves to the feeling of power that comes with such things. Perhaps they are trapped and have no way to escape. Perhaps they do not care. Who is to say?
It pains me to see someone come to this fate, though perhaps not as much as it pains me to see the harm that is caused to others because of it.

I believe I mentioned spirits, darling.
Though, if someone feels the need to display their milk-drinking prowess, who am I to deny them their pleasure? Especially when it comes to choice of beverages.
Life is short. One should seek to enjoy pleasurable things as often as possible, yes? Indulge your passions and desires and bring happiness to others. What better way to enjoy life while serving the greater good?
