I think real maturity starts when u decide other people’s actions, words, and opinions no longer have an effect on your individual journey. This life you build is about you, for you, from you.
I think a lot about counterspell in particular. Like, the idea of Gale standing across the battlefield and sensing a crackling shift in the weave as he’s surrounded by his own adversaries.
But as enemies close in on him he finds the source of the shift, the wild tangle of that magic coalescing into something with murderous intent.
He whips his head around and sees you first, careening toward an enemy with knives drawn. Then he looks up and sees a warlock forming an incantation on her lips, one heading straight for you.
And just as you’re about to be utterly eviscerated by a bolt of lightning, the electricity in the air simply comes to a sudden stop and evaporates into a cloud of sparkling, red mist.
You and Gale meet eyes for only a moment. Something desperate glinting in that gaze that you can’t quite place. But you can’t address it now, you’re surrounded and vastly outnumbered.
The moment passes as soon as it came as you lift your blades to stop the curving arc of a great axe.
Anyway that’s it. I just think the idea of gale choking a spell out before it can get cast is just… so incredibly tasty. Especially if hes utterly, devastatingly in love with you.

i love friends to lovers because they know everything there is to know about you and they still end up choosing you.
all your quirks, pet peeves, the bad days when all you want to do is rot in bed, the good days when you feel like you’ve got the world in your hands, the mood swings, sudden rushes of adrenaline, moments of insecurity, flashes of anger, endless laughter that you just can’t stop for the life of you — basically everything that makes you you, and they’re still like; yeah. i want that.
no matter what happened today, you:
are loved
deserve to eat
are needed & valued
should take care of yourself
have a future
will be okay
Romanticizing your life sounds so stupid but it will help you cope. Taking extra time to make a yummie coffee in the morning, sitting outide observing the wind in the trees, writing poems, going to old book stores, watching your childhood favourite movies, listening to romantic jazz, writing in a coffee shop, making sure you have moody lighting in your room, putting on asmr rooms as a background noise while you work. It's not a solution, but it makes things a bit better.
forgive yourself. whether you fail a test, eat too many cookies, say the wrong thing, fail a class, or spend a whole day in bed — learn to forgive yourself. the next day will be better. the next day will be a day closer to your next success. you can do it.
These two be like when they're a cat :
