“To be, or not to be--that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune Or to take arms against a sea of troubles And by opposing end them. To die, to sleep--
No more-and by a sleep to say we end The heartache, and the thousand natural shocks That flesh is heir to. 'Tis a consummation Devoutly to be wished. To die, to sleep--To sleep-perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub, For in that sleep of death what dreams may come When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
Must give us pause.”
— Hamlet, William Shakespeare 🗡️

“Your room is a reflection of your mind”
Chaos, heartbreak, and literature haunt my restless mind…

I wish nothing but the worst for how Doctor Victor Frankenstein treated Creature (who we call Frankenstein today). Creature deserved so much better.
Victor Frankenstein couldn’t even bother to give his creation a name.
If he isn’t the embodiment of a dead beat father then I don’t know who is.

Taryn deserves nothing but the worst. Jude loved her sister and all she got in return is a knife to the back by her own twin.
Taryn can rot for all I care.

“We don’t read and write poetry because it’s cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race… poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for.”

It concerns me how many people who have read The Secret History don’t realize that Richard Papen is NOT a reliable narrator in the book.
The signs start off subtle but after a certain point you can’t ignore the hidden truths.
Bitches be bonkers. The bitches in question? Richard.

The day Wattpad started adding ads and paid subscriptions was the beginning of the end. THAT was the original Roman Empire.
Oh, how the mighty fall.
“You hear that? It’s the sound of Wattpad…falling.”
