If you are/were an LOTR fan, or at least read the books, the story arc of Eowyn should be familiar. For those who haven't read it, though, here's the story in a nutshell. Strong-willed, brave, slayer of the Witch-King, Eowyn is the epitome of a strong woman.
However, she was lost in the paths of love. As we all know Aragorn was only for the Evenstar, Arwen; and yet Eowyn still hoped for his love, a misplaced admiration and affection. It was only in the Houses of Healing that she realized her true feelings, and realized that maybe, just maybe, that the one meant for you was just always there all along. She met Faramir, Captain of Gondor, someone just as brave as she was. For Faramir was just there for her, helping her spirit to heal and to realize her true feelings.
Maybe now I have found my Faramir as well.
He was always there--in victory and in my depths of despair. I've cried out my troubles to him, and he'd listen, even if he was supposed to be doing something else. He understands me more than I do sometimes. Even in the most eccentric of moods, he bears with me, and even let me burn his study (well RP style). I don't have to admit who I really am just to get him interested--I don't need to prove anything to him, for to others I'm only as fascinating as my rank and name.
And maybe I just loved him all along.
It's the only reason why I agreed to edit Terra Nova 1 in the first place--I'm not very fond of editing long works; and free of charge at that. It's the reason why I'd try to cheer him up whenever I see a sigh or a sad emoticon, and he's the only person that I can spill all my secrets to. I just want him to feel that he's not alone in his battles, and together we will face all the world and whatever that comes along with it.
Remember the post entitled "paths" and his poem? Well I've chosen which path to take. I choose the pen over the brush, for the brush can only do so much. With the pen, we will write our dreams together. And now the post entitled "conversation" won't be just fiction anymore.
Love you too, Dave. :)
