“They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them.”
in greek mythology, the hesperides are the nymphs of evening and golden light of sunsets, who were the “daughters of the evening” or “nymphs of the west”.
I honestly hate that I have to do this and asking people on the internet for help is an absolute last resort, but it’s come to it;
For those who don’t know me — hi, I’m Raine (I don’t use my real name online for security purposes), I’m a 21-year-old, unemployed, full-time university student, clinically diagnosed with anxiety and depression, living with my (also unemployed) mother and dog and within six months, we’ll be homeless and without help.

→ Styx was a deity and river that forms the boundary between Earth and and the Underworld. Styx is also a goddess, being the daughter of Tethys. The river Styx has amazing powers that have been accounted as giving Achilles his invulnerability, as he was dipped head first by his mother, hence the story of Achilles’ heel.
What I learned about confidence? Well, actually, my soon-to-be sister-in-law, Priyanka, she taught me — I asked her: ‘where do you get all this confidence from?’ And she said ‘well, you know, I’m insecure about bits and bobs, but if you want to a reaction that you want to get, you have to walk into that room and be confident and own it, and make people feel welcome and loved and happy to be there with you.’ So that’s what I learned about confidence. I think nobody really has that much, but if you kind of own it and you pretend to be that person, you’ll get a much warmer response, so I’m trying to do that as well. — SophieTurner for Harper’s Bazaar UK, May 2019
