"Hey, are you okay?"

"no bitch i fall in love with every villain i ever seen"

“But worse than the violations themselves was the creeping understanding of what it meant to be female- that it’s not a matter of if something bad happens, but when and how bad.”

- Sex Object/ Jessica Valenti

“It doesn't matter. I have books, new books, and I can bear anything as long as there are books.” ― Jo Walton, Among Others.

something I forgot

Sometimes lie awake and wonder who wired my brain. And then I think about, how they didn't really do a good job at it. I don't remember many things. I don't remember faces, numbers, names, colours that start with "L", birthdays, the title of my favourite song, my age, the way being really sad feels, which Harry Potter movie is the second one, how to make banana bread, how to write, how to divide and multiply numbers that are bigger than 8, the person I used to be, everything I ever learned in math class.

but I will always remember locking the door at night, my mom's favourite songs, the way you told me you had fallen in love when we were sitting in the bathtub at that one party, the smile of every person I've ever kissed, my pepper spray, that one argument I heard my parents have, the scent of the deodorant I used in 7th grade, saying goodbye to my cats when leaving, how to say "I love cats" in french, the time I didn't take off your sweater for 4 days, drinking water before going to bed, how to love, how to leave, how to do that one trick with my hands that makes it look like I'm taking off my thumb.

My heart and healed and broke at the same time. It's beautiful yet heartbreaking for not being real.

I smiled at the thought—at how handsome they would be together.

My current bed time reads 🤍

day 6 of my reading challenge:

6. who is/are the book character/s you dislike? and why?

severus snape. he is just a child abuser for me. the darkling, i don’t get the hype about him. he is just a murderer with very poor motives. from time to time i think about raskolnikov and how much i want to slap him. i kinda dislike heathcliff too. and oh my god i hate robinson crusoe. i’d like to kick his balls if i’m being honest.

after all these hate confessions, i'd like to share what i call “reading corner” in my room with you. isn't it so cute ಥ⁠‿⁠ಥ and my four year old niece bought that mug for me<3.
