history, huh?

In mine and many other east Asian cultures, the dragon traditionally symbolises things like power, wealth and strength (imperial symbol and all)

I think we often forget that in the story of the Great Race, the dragon came in fifth because it'd stopped to give people rain. Then it'd stopped again to push a rabbit adrift on a log across the wide river so it reached the shore safely (that's why the Rabbit year comes before the Dragon).

Dragons aren't meant to just be powerful - they are meant to do good with such power, and to help those in need.

So in this lunar new year, I hope you gain more power, so that you might be able to help others. I pray you have abundant resources so you may give to yourself and those around you. I wish you courage, endurance, kindness and generosity, for yourself and your people.

I hope you, and I, will be rain givers, life preservers, joy bringers.

I hope we will be dragons.

the truth come out

Start again~

thinking about how peeta mellark grew up in twelve with an abusive mother, went in the hunger games, lost a leg, went in the games again, was captured and emotionally and physically tortured, found out his home had been destroyed and his entire family were dead, was brainwashed into being terrified of the one person left he loved and fought in a war all by the age of 18 but his defining characteristic remained his undeniable goodness and ability to represent hope
