I like to stay at a safe distance from everyone, I am neither near to blame nor far forgotten, present and invisible, like the setting sun, departing and comforting at the same time.

The most random things that are so attractive

Imagine him with both his hands on the wall

That smirk he does when you bump into him

When he looks up at you from the bottom of the staircase

When he sends a stupid message to you on someone else’s phone and the other person has to be like “that was ____, sorry” 

When he has absolutely no social media presence 

[whosdateh]

Love really is just "I’m thinking of you. I will ask you if you are okay. I remember your favorite flavor of tea. I want to talk to you. I hope your mother is well. I will read to you. I like your laugh. I want to help you. I will sit next to you. I got you the chocolate you like. Your eyes have gold in them. I think you'd like this book. I miss you when you aren't here." isn't it?

oblivious idiots in love

“ you really don’t see it, do you? “

“ if there’s nothing going on between the two of you, you don’t mind if i ask her out on a date, do you? “

“ come on, you’re in love with her. “

“ doesn’t take an idiot to figure it out. “

“ i wanted to kiss you. “

“ i’ve been wanting to kiss you for quite a while. “

“ it’s not like i’ve fantasized about you or anything… “

“ friends don’t talk about each other that way. “

“ you said i had nice lips. who says that? “

“ it’s just an innocent kiss. “

“ friends kiss each other all the time, right? “

“ it’s easy to confuse feelings for something they aren’t, especially when eye-contact is involved. “

“ you’re still hung up on derek. “ “ derek? my asshole ex? “

“ don’t let this one go. he’s perfect for you. “

“ do you think that this, us… do you think it could ever… be something more? “

“ she's everything i ever wanted, but i don’t want to risk losing her as a friend. “

“ i’m worried, that if we go there…. things might never be the same. “

“ you know that’s not the case. she adores you. “

“ you’re more than just friends. i mean, it’s obvious. “

“ of course i love him, we’ve been friends for ages. “

“ grow some balls and be honest with her. “

good MORNING i am thinking about people in love curling up in blankets together on a cold day (does not matter what kind of love)

good for friends, family, romantic partners, platonic partners, awkward friends of friends that accidentally become closer because of it, rivals in denial of softer feelings for one another,

[whosdateh]

"Don't take it personally" How would you like me to take it then? Professionally? Romantically? Academically?

[whosdateh]

You see dear, that’s where romantic adversity wears disguise of emotional comforts. We linger to what is bad for us knowing it is sucking the blood out of us. Rather we are the ones willing to kill ourself by offering everything we’ve got only to get more stuck in the illusion of habitual comfort. The wolf hunts as it’s nature and the wounded thinks it is the later’s nature to become the offering. The tragedy is that it doesn’t realise, it’s offering itself not only to the wolf but to their own suffering as well, further killing itself slowly and willingly. We kill our selves intricately to escape the eerie feeling of confronting ourselves.

silent patient ~ alex michaelides review/reaction

** DISCLAIMER! - contains a lot of spoilers about the book **

** Read at your own risk of spoiling the storyline **

so i just finished the silent patient and my god what a fucking ride. after finishing it, i literally could not articulate it whatsoever cause i was trying to put 2+2 together for ages. the sheer cleverness of the writer had astounded me. i was also extremely shocked at how the writer was able to wrap up the entire plot of the book in not more than 20 pages max, managed to keep it completely unexpected and while doing so, evoke such a powerful reaction from the readers. i would bow. the storyline was absolutely fresh. it was very original and it was written in a language which was easy to read through and easy to visualize. that’s what i really liked about the book. it was written incredibly well written especially the main characters i.e alicia berenson (the patient) and theo faber (the psychotherapist). the character development happened very smoothly and slyly. the length was also perfect. what i mean to say is, it is not unnecessarily long wherein it is getting too descriptive and at the same time, it was also not too short and abrupt. i felt like all the words in the book were written judiciously and all the details had a role to play in the overall story. every single word had a purpose. none of the bits seemed overexplained (*coughs in king*) or irrelevant. for me personally, it surprisingly had a lot of elements which i really like in general and did not expect to be in it judging by the first look or the first few pages. i am talking about the use of greek mythology, particularly the tragic story of alcestis, art, interpretation of art and psychology. usually i don’t come across these themes when i’m reading about a murder (i'm fairly a new reader, more like a resurrected reader). at least in contemporary fiction. another thing that kept me on edge every step of the way was the fact that the climax wasn’t revealed till the last few pages of the book. I would like to emphasize on the word ‘few’ cause the story is wrapped up in pretty much the last 10-15 pages of the book which is something extremely risky and difficult. The fact that the writer was able to summarize the entire plot and tie all the loose ends in the final 10 pages is something that is definitely worth all the appreciation in the world. to do such a task and so effortlessly needs a lot of skill, planning and courage. the last 10-15 pages were the ‘make it or break it’ point in the book which was handled very intelligently and naturally it evoked the intended reaction out of the readers. the readers made it through triumphantly without any chance of disappointment. now, diving into the main plot points which got me fkn charged with emotions was obviously, without a doubt, the ending. I felt like such an idiot for not seeing it coming. for some reason i saw kathy cheating on theo and, alicia and gabriel’s story as two separate things altogether. i did not, for once, get the slightest inclination that maybe the two can be related. i just don’t know why. maybe i trusted theo as a character way too much. i know that agatha christie had a big influence on the writer and boy, did he manage to pull a complete ‘roger ackroyd’ on us. it makes complete sense. why alicia ‘opened up’ to him out of all the people who tried to cure her, why theo insisted on having her as his patient, why he believed her ‘strange man’ theory unlike all the others, why alicia randomly attacked him etc. i did not understand the whole ‘strange man’ trope till i unconsciously found theo outside gabriel/alicia’s house while following the man who kathy cheated on him with. everything was in front of my eyes and still i wasn’t able to grasp it. even then the mere fact that theo was following some random man and the fact that alicia also complained of being watched/stalked did not ring a bell. it was only when he notices alicia berenson from the summerhouse, did i have my hallelujah moment. however, my dumbass brain still wanted to get confirmation, which it did by the end of the next chapter. when this happened, my mind went along the lines of, ‘wasn’t alicia in coma?’. That’s when

i realised the timelines of the story. my god, there was a point towards the end of the book where even i was convinced that alicia was lying and that maybe she has been making the whole of it up to fulfil the rest of her revenge plot. throughout the book, there wasn’t a single person i didn’t doubt. i doubted max, diomedes, yuri. these are apart from the obvious ones like elif, christian, gabriel himself, jean etc. it was only towards the end i realised that there were two time periods as well. i thought everything was happening side by side. that there was no past or present. this aspect took me a while to comprehend cause it became a little confusing. also I really appreciate how paintings were used to interpret the story/psyche of the person. i found it very refreshing and new. this is psychological aspect of the book which i really enjoyed. i wanted to see those pictures myself. overall, i feel like i can give this book a solid 5/5 stars and is hands down one of the top reads of this year by far and knowing me, i know im a picky reader, esp in thrillers.

P.S would love to do more book reviews if it helps out and if you enjoy reading them!

Slow burn but it's written by an impatient person

[whosdateh]

I will socialize I will grow up I will open myself up for new people I will split an atom with my teeth I will drive through red lights I will talk about my feelings I will cry at work I will read the assigned reading I will call my mom I will ferment in my room I will answer an email I will paint my nails red I will use the big knife I will yell

[whosdateh]

That's the thing with pain, it's a double edged sword; sometimes it will make you kinder than you ever thought you could be and then there are times when it will make you as heartless as you could have never imagined yourself to be. They'd say you always have a choice, and perhaps they are right too, but in reality, no one really knows the extent of your pain.
