and he was there

"and he was there. and he was wearing my t-shirt. and he smiled. and he said that he had missed me too. and he held me. and he didn't pull away. and right there i realise how insignificant everything else is as long as he is there. and i get pulled out of it. and i realise it can never be like that. and i realisere that no one else is to blame."

Sounds from another world

"One of my ears is plugged, and i can not make it go away. At night in my room, it sounds like breathing. Sometimes, I imagine it to come from another world. That the breathing comes from a sleeping girl in a wonderland. She and her friends are on a mission to find valuables. They are on the run, hiding in a cave. She sleeps next to an almost burned out fire, a supernatural creature and a little talking animal."

-Celia Crevain, 2022

kaz telling inej “i don’t want your prayers” and then spouting off some bullshit about wanting to die under the weight of his own gold to which inej responds “then i pray you get all you ask for” is objectively so funny she really is matching him sass for sass everytime

"Thought daughter means never being bored on a roadtrip bc you have never gotten over anything ever."

Depressed daughter means fearing road trips bc you have never gotten over anything. Therefore you will be near crying the entire times as your own thoughts are your worst enemy.

"He broke up with me" I blurted out.

My friend sat in the passenger seat beside me. I had interupted her. I wanted to wait. I felt nausious. Scared I would pass out. Scared I might crash the car. I had only just picked her up. Not telling her felt like keeping a secret.

I felt embarrased. Of the fact that we had failed. Of the fact that yet another person had proven my inability to be loved. I am still not sure why.

For a moment i thought that my life would end there. I would pass out. Crash the car. For a moment I felt peace. I opened my eyes. The cars stood still. The words still echoed in the car.
