The Song of Achilles, by Madeline Miller

Will you still love me

When I’m no longer young and beautiful?

I was never told I needed a Prince Charming or anything more than what I already had in me. You have to find your own way in life. I’m not into that rescue stuff.

At least I’m not pretending to be someone I’m not.

You are the noblest, purest creature I’ve ever met. The universe will be a darker place without you.

Happy Birthday Kristen Jaymes Stewart! Celebrating your birthday feels like celebrating my own child’s birthday, and that’s because I feel very close to you even if we haven’t met. Thank you for being such a true, real person, thank you for making mistakes and showing me this way that it’s alright to be imperfect, thank you for being a great role-model and an inspiration not just to me, but to millions of other people. Happy 23rd Birthday, my beautiful, talented girl.

“Moments. Our life is a series of moments. Each one a journey to the end. Let them go. Let them all go.”
