the going itself is the path

words to live by
"I thought," she said, "that I was carried by the will of Him I love, but now I see that I walk with it. I thought that the good things He sent me drew me into them as the waves lift the islands; but now I see that it is I who plunge into them with my own legs and arms, as when we go swimming. I feel as if I were living in that roofless world of yours where men walk undefended beneath naked heaven. It is a delight with terror in it! One's own self to be walking from one good to another, walking beside Him as Himself may walk, not even holding hands. How has He made me so separate from Himself? How did it enter His mind to conceive such a thing? The world is so much larger than I thought. I thought we went along paths - but it seems there are no paths. The going itself is the path."

Series wok with movies too? Cause y'know, Hobbit 1 and 2, plus the LotR trilogy makes it 5 movies in total... which is a series of movies. Either way, tell me ya favs and suuuuuuuuuch.

SURE WHY NOT. Also, HIIIIIII.

❤ male: FARAMIR and Aragorn and Boromir. I HAVE A LOT OF FEELINGS ABOUT THE MEN OF GONDOR. MULTIPLE ESSAYS WORTH.
❤ female: EOWYN. HEAD BITCH IN CHARGE, IN YOUR BATTLEFIELD KILLING YOUR WITCH KINGS.
✖ least favorite: Hmm, Wormtongue maybe?
✔ who resembles me: Oh man. Well I’ve always identified with Eowyn, not because I think I’m a HBIC badass who could kill the Witch King (haha no), but because of her struggles with depression.
❤ most attractive: Faramir, Aragorn, Eomer. Also if we’re including the Hobbit movies, RAWRMITAGE’s Thorin and whichever dwarf the lovely Aidan Turner is playing (it’s either Kili or Fili, I can’t remember).
❤ three more characters that i like: Gandalf, Elrond, and Bilbo (I’m especially looking forward to Martin “Fuck You I Won A BAFTA” Freeman’s take on the character, lol)
