Mai.

So do it. Decide. Is this the life you want to live? Is this the person you want to love? Is this the best you can be? Can you be stronger? Kinder? More compassionate? Decide. Breathe in. Breathe out. And decide.

I’ve lived through some terrible things in my life, some of which actually happened.

Just because two people don’t wind up spending their entire lives together doesn’t mean their relationship was a failure.

I think that many healthy people are pretty clueless about how devastating obtaining medical care in the United States really is. We all know that it is expensive, but when I say “expensive,” I actually mean “entirely unfeasible for many Americans.” I didn’t really understand either until I went from being a healthy kid to being in the PICU overnight, only to leave with hundreds of thousands of dollars in medical debt before my 17th birthday (and I was fortunate enough to have insurance!). I cannot begin to describe the impact this has had on my life. I’m saying this because there’s a lot of insensitivity going around about sick people who can’t afford care… about how they are just “lazy” and want a handout, or how if they’d just get a job, they might be able to pay their medical bills without destroying their lives. Frankly, it’s bullshit.

Literature is the most agreeable way of ignoring life.

I’m afraid of love, because it involves things that are beyond our understanding; it sheds such a brilliant light, but the shadow it casts frightens me.

holy fuck you guys 

Do you ever just wonder why you get so captivated by someone, and then eventually get frustrated because you realize how much of a hold that person actually has on you? Like, how does someone possess that much power? How is that even humanely possible?

Another’s. She will be another’s. As she was before my kisses. Her voice, her bright body. Her infinite eyes.

I think it’s strange that you think I’m funny cause he never did

You pull my chair out and help me in, you don’t know how nice that is but I do..
