I am just a simple girl, take me to a bookstore and I will tell you about each book I have read, about my tbr, about the genres, and will probably give you 100+ recommendations even if you haven't asked for.

As I got to know you, I began to realise that beauty was the least of your qualities. I became fascinated by your goodness. I was drawn in by it. I didn’t understand what was happening to me. And it was only when I began to feel actual, physical pain every time you left the room that it finally dawned on me: I was in love, for the first time in my life.

- DANGEROUS LIAISONS, Choderlos de Laclos

What I want is to be needed. What I need is to be indispensable to somebody.

- CHOKE, Chuck Palahniuk

The smell of her hair, the taste of her mouth, the feeling of her skin seemed to have got inside him, or into the air all round him. She had become a physical necessity.

- 1984, George Orwell

You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view… Until you climb inside of his skin and walk around in it.

- TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD, Harper Lee

Whatever our souls are made out of, his and mine are the same...If all else perished, and he remained, I should still continue to be; and if all else remained, and he were annihilated, the universe would turn to a mighty stranger.

- WUTHERING HEIGHTS, Emily Brontë

I loved her against reason, against promise, against peace, against hope, against happiness, against all discouragement that could be.

- GREAT EXPECTATIONS, Charles Dickens

He stepped down, trying not to look long at her, as if she were the sun, yet he saw her, like the sun, even without looking.

I Have Given Up on People 🌻

In the quiet chambers of my heart, a solemn truth echoes: I have given up on people. It's not a declaration of defeat, but a surrender to the realization that some connections are meant to fade, some promises are meant to be broken, and some hearts are meant to drift apart. It's a bittersweet acknowledgment of the complexities of human nature, the ebb and flow of relationships, and the inevitable scars left by disappointment and betrayal. But in this admission, there's also a glimmer of resilience – a recognition that amidst the disappointments, there are still souls worth trusting, hearts worth loving, and connections worth nurturing. So, I may have given up on some, but I hold steadfast to the hope that there are still those who will prove me wrong, who will restore my faith in the beauty of human connection.

Home ♥️

In the journey of life away from home, amidst the novel experiences and novel landscapes, there's an echo of longing for the familiar, for the warmth of home's embrace. Yet, in the midst of this yearning, we discover the remarkable ability to make home wherever we wander. It's in the laughter shared with newfound friends, the comfort found in routines we create, and the small rituals that tether us to the past. Life away from home teaches us that home isn't just a place; it's a feeling we carry within us. So, we keep missing home while simultaneously making home wherever our footsteps lead us, weaving threads of nostalgia into the fabric of our present adventures.

Modern Friendships 💕

In the age of digital connection, friendships have taken on a new shape, navigating the virtual highways of social media and the endless scroll of messaging apps. Yet amidst the sea of emojis and likes, the essence of true friendship remains unchanged: the laughter shared over video calls, the comfort found in late-night text exchanges, and the bonds strengthened by memes and shared playlists. But in this digital landscape, we also face new challenges – the pressure to maintain constant connection, the fear of missing out, and the subtle art of deciphering sincerity from superficiality. Yet, despite the hurdles, modern friendships continue to thrive, adapting and evolving with each click, swipe, and notification. For in the heart of every friendship, whether digital or face-to-face, lies the timeless essence of camaraderie, understanding, and unconditional support.

Coffee: The Saviour ☕️

Coffee is that magical elixir that transforms mere mortals into productive members of society. Without it, I'm just a walking snooze button with a caffeine deficiency. It's not just a beverage; it's a lifeline, a liquid hug for my brain. Without coffee, I'm basically a plant pretending to be a functioning adult. So, excuse me while I go caffeinate and try to adult like I know what I'm doing.
