What Could Be A More Innocent Or Harmless Pastime For A Young Girl Than Reading?

You’re much too straightforward to be able to pretend to be what you aren’t.

Madeline L’Engle, A Wrinkle in Time (via the-book-diaries)

I do not fear death. I had been dead for billions and billions of years before I was born, and had not suffered the slightest inconvenience from it.

stranger things 2 + text posts [pt.2]

I love being horribly straightforward. I love sending reckless text messages (because how reckless can a form of digitized communication be?) and telling people I love them and telling people they are absolutely magical humans and I cannot believe they really exist. I love saying, Kiss me harder, and You’re a good person, and, You brighten my day. I live my life as straight-forward as possible. Because one day, I might get hit by a bus. Maybe it’s weird. Maybe it’s scary. Maybe it seems downright impossible to just be—to just let people know you want them, need them, feel like, in this very moment, you will die if you do not see them, hold them, touch them in some way whether its your feet on their thighs on the couch or your tongue in their mouth or your heart in their hands. But there is nothing more beautiful than being desperate. And there is nothing more risky than pretending not to care. We are young and we are human and we are beautiful and we are not as in control as we think we are. We never know who needs us back. We never know the magic that can arise between ourselves and other humans. We never know when the bus is coming.

My favorite fic trope would definitely be enemies to lovers. And the infamous first kiss in the middle of a flight.

We’re all hoes for enemies to lovers let’s admit it 

what are your favorite fanfic tropes?

did you take the pictures on your banner/ prof pic? they're cute!

Thank you honey! Yes, I did. They're both pictures I took on a recent holiday. Highly recommend the chai at Thinking Cup in Boston, MA (the profile photo) and a trip to the Boston Public Library (banner photo)-I felt like I'd died and gone to literary heaven in there.

You do not write your life with words…You write it with actions. What you think is not important. It is only important what you do.
