The Hunger Games: Mockingjay

The following text has been extracted from one of my favourite books by Suzanne Collins. Possibly my favourite paragraph in any books I've read (top 3 for sure). SPOILER ALERT! DO NOT READ on if you haven't read the book and will be sometime in the future.

On the night I feel that thing again, the hunger that overtook me on the beach, I know this would have happened anyway. That what I need to survive is not Gale's fire, kindled with rage and hatred. I have plenty of fire myself. What I need is the dandelion in the spring. The bright yellow that means rebirth instead of destruction. The promise that life can go on, no matter how bad our losses. That it can be good again. And only Peeta can give me that.

So after, when he whispers," You love me. Real or not real?"

I tell him, "Real."

When forever holds true

There are moments in your life that you'll always remember. Today is one of them.

CONGRATULATIONS sister for obtaining your PR in Australia!!! Blow the balloons, pop open the champagne, and let loose the streamers!! A little over 1 month before you turn 27 - you did it!

Today is a day you'll forever remember, when 26 years of hard work finally paid off. It wasn't an easy road but you got there. This is one of those very few times when you get a piece of news so great, so surreal, your whole life flashes before your eyes - the ups, the downs, the sideways, right up to this very moment and I for one am rendered speechless. Words alone cannot describe how enormous this moment truly is. Amazing. Simply amazing.

Love you always ♥

Sister all grins and smiles after receiving the email bearing the news that her PR application has been approved.
