Not a word passes between us, not because we have nothing to say, but because we don't have to say anything.

And that's the thing about people who mean everything they say. They think everyone else does too.

"There is only one sin, only one. And that is theft. Every other sin is a variation of theft. When you kill a man, you steal a life. You steal his wife's right to a husband, rob his children of a father. When you tell a lie, you steal someone's right to the truth. When you cheat, you steal the right to fairness."

-The Kite Runner, by Khaled Hosseini.

This fucking quote HITS RIGHT INTO THE BLOODY HEART.

“I opened my mouth, almost said something. Almost. The rest of my life might have turned out differently if I had. But I didn’t. I just watched. Paralyzed.”

reading khaled hosseini has just made me realise that the root cause of every bad thing is the patriarchy, actually.

Khaled Hosseini's books are like a warm hug from a dear friend, if that hug also made you ugly cry.

And the past held only this wisdom: that love was a damaging mistake, and its accomplice, hope, a treacherous illusion.

I am so afraid. Because I am so profoundly happy. Happiness like this is frightening...They only let you this happy if they are preparing to take something from you.

what seems like forever ago, @geryone so kindly tagged me and asked me to share nine book recommendations. after combing through some of my recent reads, here are some of my favorites:

My short little summaries and thoughts are listed under the cut:

Giovanni's Room by James Baldwin - Giovanni's Room is about a young man in David and his summer romance with another young man named Giovanni. Through the lens of love and heartbreak, David goes through a journey of identity.

Fight Club by Chuck Palahniuk - We follow our narrator, for now we can call him Joe, as he begins a very unconventional friendship with a man named Tyler. Men fight, they also bite and many a problems arise.

The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini- Historical fiction novel that is set agains the backdrop of many events from the fall of Afghanistan's monarchy to the rise of the Taliban regime. I don't think I've cried harder reading a book so that's my own weird way of saying I can't recommend it enough.

For One More Day by Mitch Albom- Little read with a lot of heart. Fictional baseball player has the chance to spend one more day with his late mother, who he misses more than he ever thought he would. Another book that kept me crying into the middle of the night.

If We Were Villains by M.L. Rio - I feel like if you like dark academia; this is an essential. A group of Shakespearean acting students at the fictional Dellecher Shakespeare conservatory get wrapped in a murder and it's an ongoing case of whodunit.

A Single Man by Christopher Isherwood - A delicate look into the mundane crafted through the lens of grief, loss and heartache. We follow the life of George, a middle-aged gay man mourning the loss of his partner. Like Giovanni's Room, I think it's a staple of queer literature.

I'm Glad My Mom Died by Jennette McCurdy - A heartbreaking memoir that's sprinkled with the well timed moment of comedy. We learn about Jennette McCurdy's tumultuous relationship with acting, the abuse she suffered at the hands of her mother, and her own way of working towards healing.

Promises of Gold by José Olivarez - If prose isn't your thing; this might be! Promises of Gold is a poetry collection in which Olivarez family, identity, love and quarantine. One of my personal favorites is Regret or My Dad Says Love

A Short History of the Girl Next Door by Jared Reck - A story about first love that in ends heartbreak in more ways that one. It's first person and it's YA, two things I normally never read, but it's just so so good. Forget crying into the middle of the night, this had me crying well into morning

no pressure tagging: @firstfullmoon and @soracities if you have anything you want to recommend <3

Isn't it weird? How moon always makes us happy but also sad and empty and numb and makes you long for something you can't put your hands on? The moon pictures you used to send to your loved ones are no longer in your phone gallery. The people with whom you used to sit with under the moonlit sky are just memories now.

We have all found and lost our moons, have gone through this empty, sinking feeling while looking at the most beautiful of the creations. This hole, this abyss from where we can't seem to get out of? How do you feel such things and then just carry on with your life? We have had our moon-less skies, and have let ourselves care about people to the point we have made them leave us and now we are just staring into this sky of people, we call the "world", hoping to find our lost moons. But how we have forgotten that WE are the Moon...the ones lighting up our skies? Giving hope to ourselves? Because when you look beside you, you can only find the presence of your longing and yourself holding hands.

This life is our sky and we are the moon and stars of our own sky.

I hope yall know how you light up your sky, and others.

I love you ♥️
