Why is it when something happens it is always you three?

I know that our past certainly influences us.

Her eyes burned, green fire in the dusk, like the lioness that was her sigil.

october. 🌿  found an old typewriter, which i am now trying to restore. found white flowers, which i have now pressed between pages of books. found newfound strength, found that it’s okay to cry. found new shadows in the changing light. only two months left in year and still: “i keep trying to be delicate. i’m not telling everything.” 🌿  insta 🌿 

That feeling when a book breaks your heart, but you eat it up and love it anyways 🤷🏻‍♀️. . The Light We Lost by Jill Santopolo is killing me you guys. But I can’t stop because it’s so good, and the romance is so beautiful but heart breaking at the same time. And it’s everything that I love about sweeping, epic love stories but my god it’s hurting. I’m feeling every moment of pain, loss, jealousy and joy that Lucy, the protagonist is feeling. I’m halfway through and plan on powering through the rest asap 🙌🏻. . My stunning, perfect summer watch that I’ve been wearing literally everyday is from @danielwellington’s new #dwclassicpetite bondi collection, and you can snag one up for 15% off with the code ALYSSA15. This watch is going with every outfit I pair it with this summer and I’m loooooving it 😍#ad. . Also, my gorgeous ring is from @ebb__andflow, a local jeweller close to me, and I can’t recommend her stuff more 💍 go check out her page if you love amazing rings like me 💁🏻. . (at Coffee Bar)

“Now, I think that I should have known that he was magic all along. I did know it — but I should have guessed that it would be too much to ask to grow old with and see our children grow up together. So now, he is a legend when he would have preferred to be a man.” - Jackie Kennedy
