the clink of money being exchanged hand to hand, an erratic rhythm that sets your heart racing, a fleeting smile, sharp as a knife, closing your eyes out of weariness at the end of the day, one cruelly raised brow, a self satisfied smirk, showing your feelings through actions not words, crisp suits and bodyguards, a carefully crafted image and a collection of facades, expensive, thoughtful gifts, “i want to see my lawyer”, the briefest flashes of weakness as plans crumble, a dangerous glint in an eye, poker and gambling, standing on the edge of a roof to feel alive, being forced to grow up too fast, and always, always, being ten steps ahead

“But what about the rest of us? What about the nobodies and the nothings, the invisible girls? We learn to hold our heads as if we wear crowns. We learn to wring magic from the ordinary. That was how you survived when you weren’t chosen, when there was no royal blood in your veins. When the world owed you nothing, you demanded something of it anyway.”

“I'd rather die on an adventure than live standing still”

“You know, it can be scary sometimes, but being who you really are is never a bad idea.”
