i've been a silly boy.

Behind every successful woman is a long line of people who didn’t believe she could do it. A long line of people she had to prove wrong.

❝  you wanna know how i know you’re a good friend— not just for me but in general?  i always feel better after hanging out with you.  ❞

❝  sometimes things aren’t alright and they’re not gonna be okay for a while.  and that’s alright.  as cliche as it sounds it’s okay to not be okay.  give yourself time.  ❞

❝  have you even taken the time to let yourself feel it?  everything that’s been happening.  eventually,  you have to slow down and let it feel real.  ❞

❝   i’m not really the advice type,  but i am damn good at coming up with distractions to forget the bullshit for a while.  ❞

❝  was this not what you expected?  ❞

❝  i think the whole idea of ‘finding yourself’ is kind of bullshit.  we are what we chose to be.  we make ourselves.   ❞

❝  did you come by for a reason or did you just want some company?  ❞

❝  i’m going to tell you this,  once,  because i think you need to hear it.  you deserve more.  you should expect more from the world and put in the work to get what you deserve.  ❞

❝  i brought some seeds for your garden.  i thought about bringing a bouquet but— this way you can grow them and enjoy them longer.  ❞

❝  please,  stay for dinner?  i enjoy your company.  ❞

❝  come sit a little while with me.  tell me how you’ve been?  really.  ❞

❝  you don’t know how glad i am to see you made it.  here,  let me get you a drink.   ❞

❝  if you’d like to discuss it in private,  we can step outside?  ❞

❝  whatever it is you wish to tell me,  it won’t leave this room.  ❞

❝  well,  i’ve been wanting to talk to you.  but i don’t really know how to put it all in words.  ❞

❝  how have you been sleeping?  ❞

❝  don’t take this the wrong way,  but you don’t quite look well.  ❞

❝  don’t feel bad for not knowing—  i was trying not to bother anyone.  you didn’t know because i didn’t let you.  ❞

❝  miscommunication is a shitty trope in sitcoms and it’s even shittier in real life,  so let’s just take a moment to breathe.  and let’s get on the same page.  alright?   ❞

❝  is this a time for me to listen or fix it?  ❞

❝  i don’t really have anything to say,  i just know that i don’t really want to be alone.  ❞

❝  could you just…talk to me?  it doesn’t have to be anything important.  i just like listening to your voice.  it calms me.  ❞

❝  honestly,  it was a long time ago.  i don’t really remember the details.  ❞

❝  i’m rather proud of you.  i don’t say that often,  so believe i mean it.  ❞

❝  you seem content here.  happy,  even?  ❞

❝  i’m not here to drudge up the past.  i’m just hoping we could have a future.  ❞

❝  i see you’re not getting much sleep either.  should i make us both some tea,  then?  ❞

❝  are you sure you didn’t want to mention something to me?  ❞

❝  are you sure you’re alright?  ❞

❝  i’m a fan of your work,  actually.  ❞

❝  you have more of a reputation than you might think.  ❞

❝  you haven’t heard of me?  how refreshing.  ❞

❝  go on,  tell me what’s on your mind.  ❞

❝  something is troubling you,  yes?  ❞

❝  with a smile like that,  i can’t help but want to know your secret.  what’s got you so cheery today?  ❞

❝  come on,  you’re clearly upset.  and i’m not the asshole who pretends not to notice.  ❞

❛There are two things that lurk within the dark and shadowy places of our fair city. Vermin and secrets.❜

❛Is that a promise or a threat?❜

❛Say you do not care for me. Say you feel nothing, and I will walk away.❜

❛Regardless of the truth, people… nay, gossips, they will contrive shameless falsehoods.❜

❛There shall be dancing.❜

❛Scandals may cast aspersions but they do not obligate us to answer to anyone.❜

❛Can you ever just agree?❜

❛I saw a light and thought I might have left a candle lit.❜

❛Worldly travelers use it as a way to open their minds and transcend ordinary anxieties.❜

❛I do not know which pains me more, your betrayal or your pity.❜

❛So many flowers when what I really seek is a gem.❜

❛ Do not leave me!❜

“Do you think there is a corner of this earth that you could travel to far away enough to free me from this torment?❜

❛There is nothing worse than rotting flowers when someone is unwell.❜

❛Is there not something in all of us that requires a challenge?❜

❛Pride may not be as precious to you as your breath.❜

❛Would you like a companion? Imposter party for two?❜

❛You understood our arrangement came with risks.❜

❛Perhaps we pretend this encounter never took place?❜

❛Oh I shall never listen to you! Or anyone I wholeheartedly disagree with!❜

❛I, of course, am an enigma and will divulge none of my secrets.❜

❛I do believe we must allow ourselves those private moments, so we may face reality armed with our reveries.❜

❛True love is something else entirely. It is when the rest of the world goes quiet. It is not eyes that meet, but souls that dance.❜

❛Beating you feels the same as any other win, but somehow smells sweeter.❜

❛An insipid wallflower, indeed.❜

❛Your confidence is admirable, I concede.❜

❛For the first time in my life, I do not know what to do.❜

❛It is a pleasing, stimulating, thrilling, kind of torment. Have you ever felt that way?❜

❛You are the bane of my existence and the object of my desires.❜

❛Soon you shall be just as jaded as the rest of us.❜

❛I look at you now, and all I feel is pity for you.❜

❛The moment we go, the moment we step foot outside those doors, we face the truth.❜

❛You worry about being seen.❜

❛You vex me!❜

❛We must be careful not to attract too much attention.❜

❛I would rather go out there and offer my hand to one of those birds. It would be less painful!❜

❛Oh, here we go! Enthrall me with your self knowledge and awareness!❜

❛Your dreams are grander than you let on.❜

❛Happy endings do not exist. At least, not in real life.❜

❛We did a terrible thing.❜

❛That scent. It has remained imprinted on my mind since the night on the terrace.❜

❛I heard it was you who found me and brought me home safe.❜

❛You are running away.❜

❛Just keep looking at me. No one else matters.❜

❛Are you going to ask me to dance? One last time?❜
