My whole life, this is what I’ve wanted. A best friend. Someone who gets me, who accepts me. Someone who fights like hell to get me to see that they love me. Someone who lets me love them back. Someone who’s so goddamn beautiful, she makes my toes curl. Someone who calls me on my bullshit. Someone who makes me laugh. Someone who makes me look at her like this and looks at me the same way. Someone who . . . who’s my home.

Maybe people who live in the Basin don’t realize how wrong it feels unless they leave.

nobody tells you how those nights that stand out in your memory—levee sunset nights, hurricane nights, first kiss nights, homesick sleepover nights, nights when you stood at your bedroom window and looked at the lilies one porch over and thought they would stand out, singular and crystallized, in your memory forever—they aren’t really anything. they’re everything, and they’re nothing. they make you who you are, and they happen at the same time a twenty-three-year-old a million miles away is warming up some leftovers, turning in early, switching off the lamp. they’re so easy to lose. you don’t learn until you’re older how to zoom out of that extreme proximity and make it fit into the bigger picture of your life.

loveless, alice oseman.

julian’s hand fell to his lap. he looked out over the water again. the wind tugged at his jacket. he closed his eyes and grinned. below, the waves crashed. the moonlight painted him in shades of blue. his edges blurred like watercolors spilling outside of their lines.

in the darkness, two shadows, reaching through the hopeless, heavy dusk. their hands meet, and light spills in a flood like a hundred golden urns pouring out of the sun.

MAKE ME CHOOSE — @dajis asked heartstopper or the seven husbands of evelyn hugo or nora holleran

nora is the cool brainy one, the one who makes inappropriate jokes on twitter about whatever sci-fi show everyone’s watching, a bar trivia team ringer.

if you're having relationship issues and you slide a letter though the vents of locker eighty-nine, you will recieve an email from an anonymous sender within the week giving you advice. and if you're wise enough to follow that advice, your relationship problems will be solved, guaranteed, or your money back. and i rarely have to give people their money back.

@storyseekers event 11 : travel — cemetery boys for @percysokonjo​

— Julian was unleashed, brilliantly burning. It gave Yadriel a head rush as they sped past crashing waves, palm trees, and beaches painted pink by the sunset. The engine thrummed through his body. His heart hammered in time.
