I wasn’t actually in love, but I felt a sort of tender curiosity.

I like looking back at people’s faces in the dark. I like noticing details that no one else sees. But I hate it in old movies when drivers don’t watch the road.

So you plant your own garden and
decorate your own soul, instead of waiting
for someone to bring you flowers.

I read this in my 11th grade english class and i still think about it sometimes. 

This is my favorite fucking short story ever. It changed the way I look at human weakness.

This is one of my favourite things ever.

I remember someone reading this story during a speech club competition and it made me cry.

this is the best thing I have ever read.

It’s a terrible thing, I think, in life to wait until you’re ready. I have this feeling now that actually no one is ever ready to do anything. There is almost no such thing as ready. There is only now. And you may as well do it now. Generally speaking, now is as good a time as any.

Sometimes you’re 23 and standing in the kitchen of your house making breakfast and brewing coffee and listening to music that for some reason is really getting to your heart. You’re just standing there thinking about going to work and picking up your dry cleaning. And also more exciting things like books you’re reading and trips you plan on taking and relationships that are springing into existence. Or fading from your memory, which is far less exciting. And suddenly you just don’t feel at home in your skin or in your house and you just want home but “Mom’s” probably wouldn’t feel like home anymore either. There used to be the comfort of a number in your phone and ears that listened everyday and arms that were never for anyone else. But just to calm you down when you started feeling trapped in a five-minute period where nostalgia is too much and thoughts of this person you are feel foreign. When you realize that you’ll never be this young again but this is the first time you’ve ever been this old. When you can’t remember how you got from sixteen to here and all the same feel like sixteen is just as much of a stranger to you now. The song is over. The coffee’s done. You’re going to breathe in and out. You’re going to be fine in about five minutes.
