i’m so happy that she‘s alive i don’t know what to do without her :(

[gmoleta]

Its hard looking at those photos but it makes you really admire her even more bec you can see how she wanted to die, how tired, how helpless, vulnerable&weak she is&for her to keep all of that and be her usual self who brightens up a room with just her smile / laugh/ personality & humor & so FULL OF LIFE after a few weeks/months after those critical moments is just😭❤️😩 That if she didn’t open up, no one would even believe she did.
SHE INSANELY STOOD UP AND PROVED HER BRAIN THAT SHE IS A TOUGH COOKIE, THRICE!
Surviving TWO ANEURYSMS, swerved around death THRICE, a subarachnoid, THREE brain surgeries, Aphasia & having a Titanium plate on her skull.
IF THAT ISN’T STRENGTH ABOVE STRENGTH, Then i don’t know what is.
She’s just as badass as Dany 😩😍😩🔥👸🏻
MY HEART SCREAMS FOR YOU,
EMILIA EUPHEMIA ISABELLE ROSE CLARKE!

As somebody who's going through so much. (Nothing life threatening thankfully *knock on wood*) Hearing people overcome incredible obstacles then thriving. It's just so inspirational now more than ever before. I love you Mhysa

Like, she and Dakota Johnson may be the most kind and nice people to walk the planet ever.

What I want to know is what causes someone so young to have 2 brain aneurysms? If it is from trying to remember your lines, I'm glad I'm not an actor.

[xIBEASTYFUNK]

Now I know why she can't really act
