She Was Very Near Hating Him Now; Yet The Sound Of His Voice, The Way The Light Fell On His Thin, Dark

Todays layout! I’m getting closer to my exam, and the stress level is starting to get to me. So I workout 💪🏻 Procrastination or healthy choice? No one really knows 😅

I never realized what a big deal that was. How amazing it is to find someone who wants to hear about all the things that go on in your head.

We need people in our lives with whom we can be as open as possible. To have real conversations with people may seem like such a simple, obvious suggestion, but it involves courage and risk.

Thomas Moore (via onlinecounsellingcollege)

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.

OTP Prompt 99

Person A: Are you.. blushing?

Person B: What, no.

Person A: Did I get the ever-stoic, hardcore, total badass Person B to blush?

Person B: No… It’s… It’s the cold.

Person A: Huh. It’s the cold. And not that I told you “your face is freaking adorable and I bet the rest of you is too?”

Person B: *blushing harder* *voice cracks* N-no.

I don’t understand it any more than you do, but one thing I’ve learned is that you don’t have to understand things for them to be.

Chapters 2 & 3 are up!!!! I love writing these feisty little first years and their stubborn refusal to all be friends. 

I have survived. I am here. Confused, screwed up, but here.
