stay foreign

Can’t a girl say something stupid once in a while?

“In the end. we all just want someone that chooses us. Over everyone else. Under any circumstances.”

“Waiting is painful. Forgetting is painful. But not knowing which to do is the worst kind of suffering.”

“When something bothered me, I didn’t talk with anyone about it. I thought it over all by myself, came to a conclusion, and took action alone. Not that I really felt lonely. I thought that’s just the way things are. Human beings, in the final analysis, have to survive on their own.”

“Do not allow him to consume you. If he does not call, go to sleep. If he does not message, put your phone away and have a fantastic day anyway. If he acts distant when you are with him and refuses to tell you what is wrong, don’t wait for him, go home and do something you love. If he tries to insinuate you do not need your friends now that you have him, spend more time with your friends. If he tries to teach you a lesson through the silent treatment, ignore him completely. If he plays with your feelings constantly, walk away from him. If he acts like your body is his entitlement when you are not ready, walk away from him. If he says terrible, unforgivable things and threatens to leave you after every argument, walk away from him. If he forbids you from doing anything you love, walk away from him. If he claims ownership of your accomplishments, walk away from him. If he demeans you or disrespects your being a girl and refuses to stop when you tell him it hurts, walk away from him. I cannot stress this enough, you live for yourself first. He is a secondary character in the story of your life. Do not allow him to turn you into a secondary character in your own book”

You know what’s really hot? Subtle flirtation. Deliberate eye contact, held for just a few seconds, small touches here and there, a hand brushing against yours, a lingering pause of fingertips against your flesh, before they pull away. The slight turn of their mouth, whenever they look at you, the way their eyes dip to your own lips and back up to meet your gaze. The slight difference in tone, going from light and conversational, to husky with an edge of meaning. Gentle teasing and wry banter being exchanged back and forth, nudges and winks, low chuckles filled with timbre. A promise of more to come, later, if you want it. A slow, sensual, seduction, that pours over you like honey and silk.
