“Someone you haven’t even met yet is wondering what it’d be like to know someone like you.”
—I Wrote This For You (via blinksoflife) (via quote-book) (via loveishere) (via lovebot) (via lajoiedevivre) (via wishbone666) (via somesecretstories) (via herbedchamber) (via hihievet) (via tothepersoninthebelljar)
“Let’s talk about rape for a moment. Rape is not what George Lucas did to your childhood. Rape is not what happens when a sports team beats another sports team by a wide margin. Rape is not what happens when your electric bill is higher this month than it was last month. Rape is when a person violates another person in the most despicable, degrading way imaginable and among the myriad of terrible things humans can do to one another, rape is among the worst. I think the casual misappropriation of the concept of rape extending all the way to its widespread comical usage is disgusting even by Internet standards. Off my chest.”
—Jeffrey Rowland - Overcompensating (via loveyourchaos)
“The only obsession everyone wants: Love. People think that in falling in love they make themselves whole? The Platonic union of souls? I think otherwise. I think you’re whole before you begin. And the love fractures you. You’re whole, and then you’re cracked open.”
— Philip Roth, The Dying Animal (via skyisland)
“In order to write the book you want to write, in the end you have to become the person you need to become to write that book.”
—Junot Díaz (via wordpainting)
“Every day I get up and look out the window, and something occurs to me. Something always occurs to me. And if it doesn’t, I just lower my standards.”
—William Stafford, on writing (via libraryland)
“Some people feel like they don’t deserve love. They walk away quietly into empty spaces, trying to close the gaps of the past.”
—Jon Krakauer (via feur)
“I didn’t want to wake up. I was having a much better time asleep. And that’s really sad. It was almost like a reverse nightmare, like when you wake up from a nightmare you’re so relieved. I woke up into a nightmare.”
—Craig Gilner, It’s Kind of A Funny Story by Ned Vizzini (via shhhhjustcome)
“A lie of omission was much simpler than admitting to yourself you were going against the wishes of the person you idolized.”
— Mercy, Jodi Picoult (via thepicoultwisdom)
“Commitment-phobes are not only unable to commit to ‘yes,’ they are also incapable of committing to ‘no.’ They keep the door open, giving their partners false hope.”

This describes the way I’ve treated every man in my life for the past four months.
