solitaire lines that make the world make more sense:
“without organisation, we descend into chaos.”
“whatever happens in hell can’t be much worse than what happens here.”
“for most people, normal is their default setting.”
“one day i’m going to forget how to wake up.”
“i could die right now and it wouldn’t matter.”
“but you like biscuits. everyone likes biscuits.”
“just because something doesn’t matter doesn’t mean it’s not worth doing.”
“there doesn’t need to be a rainbow for it to be beautiful.”
“all friendships are selfish. maybe if we were all selfless, we would leave each other alone.”
“shit happens to the wrong people.”
“if you can’t accept things you don’t understand, then you’ll spend your life questioning everything.”
“why are there no happy people?”
“you have solidly proven that everyone and everything is shit.”
“protect the unprotected. justice is everything. patience kills.”
“maybe i’ll die when i’m twenty-seven.”
“it’s so easy to assume you know everything about a person.”
“what now? i ask. i’m not quite sure which ‘now’ i’m talking about. this minute? today? the rest of our lives?”
“i don’t want people to try and understand why i am the way i am, because i should be the first person to understand that. and i don’t understand yet.”
“everyone is okay with hurting people.”
“i just sit here, doing nothing, assuming that someone else is going to make things better.”
“snow can make anything beautiful.”
“snow is romantic i guess, but it just makes things cold.”
“you can’t always rely just on yourself, even though it can seem like an easier way to live.”
“i knew it was coming, but i didn’t do anything. i didn’t even say anything because i thought i’d been imagining it.”
“i have been looking for you forever.”
“the last thing i remember thinking before i pass out from the cold is that if i were to die, i would rather be a ghost than go to heaven.”
“all maths does is give you a false sense of achievement.”
“we’re so used to disaster that we accept it. we think we deserve it.”
“i think a lot of people wish for disaster because it’s the only thing left with the power to turn heads.”
“some people get no attention. you can understand why they’d go seeking it. if they’re waiting forever for something that might never come.”
“it’s all fake. everyone is fake. why does no one care about anything?”
“basking in the light and glory that comes with not giving a damn about anything in the entire universe.”
“approximately one hundred billion people have died since the world began. did you know that? one hundred billion. it’s a big number. but it still doesn’t seem like quite enough.”
“extraordinary is only an extension of ordinary.”
“do you think that, if we were happy for our entire lives, we would feel like we’d missed out on something?”
“sometimes, i want to express the emotions that i’m actually feeling instead of having to put on this happy, smiley facade that i put on every day just to come across to bitches like you as not boring.”
“if i fall accidentally, the universe will be there to catch me.”
“we all need saving really.”
“just because someone smiles doesn’t mean they’re happy.”
“some people aren’t meant for school, that doesn’t mean they aren’t meant for life.”
“one person can change everything, and you have changed everything for me.”
“i don’t want to make any more mistakes. and i know that this is not a mistake. you are not a mistake.”
“i really would die if i don’t…if i don’t hold him”
“i think i’ve loved you since i met you, i just mistook it for curiosity.”
“i can’t say that i feel happy. i’m not even sure if i would know if i was.”
“all of the snowflakes are exactly the same.”
“we’re all waiting for something to change. patience can kill you.”
“one day it’ll end. it always ends.”
“all i know is that i’m here. and i’m alive. and i’m not alone.”
