I lost a great innocence when I understood that I and my mind were not going to be on good terms for the rest of my life

Eu estava correndo. Não simplesmente correndo, mas correndo com velocidade e fúria, como um relâmpago a atravessar, de um lado para o outro, o estacionamento do hospital, procurando gastar uma energia ilimitada, irrequieta, maníaca. Eu corria rápido, mas lentamente enlouquecia.

We created our own world of discussion, desire, and love, living on champagne, roses, snow, rain, and borrowed time, an intense and private island of restored life for both of us.

Which of my feelings are real? Which of the me’s is me? The wild, impulsive, chaotic, energetic, and crazy one? Or the shy, withdrawn, desperate, suicidal, doomed, and tired one? Probably a bit of both, hopefully much that is neither.

General Heart Fragment Headcanons (pt. 1)
Because it's still occupying my mind. Also spoilers for Book 1 and Book 2!!
Natalia is THAT girl. She takes care of herself. She has a full skincare routine she carries out every week.
She once offered Teryl one of those shiny, silver face masks
He accepted it. And then asked for another one. And another one.
Cue Clive entering the shack. Two long-haired men with silver faces greet him. He doesn’t remember much about what happened after that.
Shannon has some beef with some bigger bakery corporations (because she’s just BETTER.)
No joke, they sent her a cease and desist email to literally stop handing out free pastries (she made herself) because people stopped purchasing from their stores during that period of time
Jasper sometimes uses the nickname ‘Lia’ for Natalia
Xani is kind of fluent in Spanish
Gray has his own StarxSocial account that Xani helped set up
He doesn’t post a lot on there, he mainly uses it for keeping up with news and… pop culture - in order to try and connect with Xani because god knows what the youth of the time are interested in
From time to time, he will get logged out and will have to ask his daughter how to log back in
“Girl. What’s my password.”
“Sigh. It’s Learntowritedownyourpassword. And both of our birth years.”
“…doesn’t work.” “I didn’t mean it literally!!”
As a result of his mutation, Jasper actually has (retractable) wolf-like fangs! No, he’s not a vampire. No, he won’t bite you to suck your blood. (Although I’m sure a lot of you would loooove that)
Like the rest of his (presumed) powers, he refuses to use his fangs. Though, they may come out simultaneously when his eyes switch colour
Clive has the most horrendous experiences whenever a barista attempts to write his name on a cup
Sometimes he’ll just blurt out a random name that is nowhere close to his out of panic and when his coffee is completed he’ll just be sat there wondering
“Who’s Jonathan and why is he not collecting his coffee what a weirdo"
“……………….wait I’M Jonathan-“
Xani once witnessed Lana mix her own coffee by also dumping a whole energy drink into it
“I am going to die.” And then she chugged the whole thing
Shannon has gossip sessions with Kay.
They are genuinely both nice, caring and drama-free individuals but sometimes they'll hear about the stuff happening around them and be like, "omg we have to talk about this"
Lana may have fallen for her boyfriend first, but he fell way harder
She got Inigo hyperventilating, giggling, blushing and kicking his blankets!!!
His sketchbooks quickly fill up with images of her and her flowing blue hair (I swear I will draw these two prompts someday. SOMEDAY)
Natalia is quite OP at video games, despite initially not having much experience?
"Teryl, you hand me over that controller right now because I swear I will burst a vein if you spend 20 more seconds on this level struggling"
If the group ever go out in public together, she's in charge of co-ordinating their outfits if she is not satisfied because she knows her fashion 💅
But there will be times where she accidentally matches with Jasper??? Which is completely unintentional?
Natalia is forever a victim to Teryl
"is that my shirt." "sorry sweetie can't help the fact it looks better on me"
Her nails are sharp like a cat <3

But if love is not the cure, it certainly can act as a very strong medicine. As John Donne has written, it is not so pure and abstract as one might once have thought and wished, but it does endure, and it does grow.

sua cor do mergulho no mundo subterrâneo? Quer
dizer, qual é a realidade de qualquer sentimento?"
