I require all of the bridesmaids and groomsmen at my wedding to wear circlets.

No you have no choice. You will be elves and you will like it.

I WANNA BE AN ELF

I want to be in your wedding. O_O

“Writing is a difficult, lonely endeavor, and every writer is a perpetual beginner. Therefore, don’t be ungenerous with another person’s attempts. Such an act will only reflect on you.” Isabella Franconati (via writingquotes)

Risking Delight

We must risk delight. We can do without pleasure, but not delight. Not enjoyment. We must have the stubbornness to accept our gladness in the ruthless furnace of this world. To make injustice the only measure of our attention is to praise the Devil. - Jack Gilbert, from "A Brief for the Defense"
