2013-Me with my Hobbit book that I had to have because it has Smaug. Dragons forever.

THESE BOOKS (SERIES) APPEAR IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER BECAUSE I CANNOT AND WILL NOT CHOOSE AN ALL-TIME FAVORITE BOOK OR SERIES

STOP ASKING

IT'S IMPOSSIBLE

1. "Lord of the Rings", "The Hobbit" by J. R. R. Tolkien
2. "The Inheritance Cycle" by Christopher Paolini
3. "The Blind Assassin" by Margaret Atwood
4. "American Gods" by Neil Gaiman

I like fantasy. Just a little.

PSA: I'm open to talking about books. All the time. Giving suggestions, taking suggestions, suggesting books that should burn etc.

"Hannahrubyisms"

The glare was in my right eye so I'm calling myself "Mad-Eye Hannah" for this picture.

"Hannahrubyisms" - noun, subjective "isms" or philosophies pertaining, but not limited to, people, wine, books, and life that future award-winning writer Hannah Ruby Ball holds to be true.

NOTE: The following isms are subject to change with age, major life events, and copious amounts of wine mixed with a night of writing.

If you can be a better you, then be a better you.
People are defined by their actions, not beliefs.
Learn to love your face whilst it's naked.
Dinner is not complete without wine.
There is no absolute right or wrong, good or evil.
Laziness is not a trait to be glorified, nor is not caring.
Petty people create rumors. Boring people believe them.
If not wine, then tea.
Reading about and writing adventures is a blast, but always create your own experiences.
Butts are great.
Whining about your problems solves nothing.
Hourly introverted thoughts make you more existential and understanding.
Try to understand everything.
Don't underestimate words. They are puissant (look it up).
If you have a chance to pet a dog, you pet the crap out of that dog.
Close-mindedness is poison.
Many people aren't worth it. Few are. Although, everyone is worth something to someone.
Read everything you can.
Static people live in their comfort zone. Don't be static.
The world doesn't need to validate your life in order for you to have one.
Learning about other cultures is the coolest thing ever.
What we hate in other people is what we're afraid to become, but often what we are.
The internet rarely cares about your problems or your life.
Don't trust people who claim they aren't passionate about anything. Or say they don't like to read.
Limitations are ideas we impose on ourselves because we're afraid to be daring.

SECOND NOTE: These are only a few of Hannah Ruby Ball's philosophies and she is not pushing them on anyone. Seriously, don't think she's trying to preach and claim that her way of living is superior to yours.

THIRD NOTE: Have a fantastic day! Eat all the chocolate you can.
