– from The House in the Cerulean Sea book by T. Rumors tend to run rampant, and trying to get in front of them is like trying to beat back a wall of fire upon a dry field of grass.

And it will bite you when you least expect it. The world is a weird and wonderful place, but that doesn’t mean it’s not without its teeth. Like-minded people building it up to a roar. KluneĬhange often starts with the smallest of whispers. And if we spend too long trying to solve them, we may miss what’s right in front of us. There are mysteries that may never be solved, no matter how hard we try. If we don’t, we might forget how to be happy. We should always make time for the things we like. KluneĮven the bravest of us can still be afraid sometimes, so long as we don’t let our fear become all we know. If we can recognize that, and learn from it, we can become better people. Sometimes, our prejudices color our thoughts when we least expect them to. Idealism had no place in government work. If we can’t have that, then we run the risk of chaos. Order only works if there is complete transparency.

KluneĪll children, no matter their … disposition or what they’re capable of, must be protected regardless of the cost. Some people, no matter how good their heart was or how much love they had to give, would always be alone. Once one started lying, it became easier to do it again and again until one had to keep track of hundreds of lies. It’s never polite to revel in the suffering of others. And it’s not necessarily the fault of those with said gifts. Sometimes, we can’t always control the … gifts we’re given. They reflect the personalities of those who care for them.
