Quote
May has daffodil eyes, tastes of spring water. She is a spring tantrum. Hail ricochets off her bones. Petals form a nest around her heart. She swallows wisps of clouds, stains her fingers with wild berries. Weaves poison ivy through her hair. She never wants to be anything soft or disposable. She has honeyed skin, vanilla mouth. Sugar sweet girl. Broken glass wedged in between fists. Holds her breath, drains the pink from her cheeks. Turns herself blue. Says, I was never built for spring. I am the skeletons in the closet. The ghosts in the basement. I am the outcast, dressed up like a pageantry.
May Pt. II, Angelea Lowes (via angelealowes)

It’s so strange how life works: You want something and you wait and wait and feel like it’s taking forever to come. Then it happens and it’s over and all you want to do is curl back up in that moment before things changed.
Lauren Oliver, Delirium (via
coral)

“I wish I wrote the way I thought; Obsessively, Incessantly, With maddening hunger. I’d write to the point of suffocation. I’d write myself into nervous breakdowns, Manuscripts spiralling out like tentacles into abysmal nothing. And I’d write about you a lot more than I should.”
— Benedict Smith, I Wish I Wrote The Way I Thought
