LIVE

The entirety of the Monsters of Verity duology is Kate doing something reckless, August telling her it’s a bad idea, then her continuing anyway and saving both of their asses. Change my mind.

It’s always “wyd” and never “iwhttyyhbmbas”

Jem: *taking a nap on the couch*

*sound of the front door opening*

Will: *shouting* Jem!

Jem: *grumply* Whatttttt

Will: I CAUGHT A BIRD! *muffled chirping sounds*

Jem: *sleepily* That’s nice.

Jem:

Jem: WAIT, WHAT? WILLIAM, PUT IT BACK!

I am so guilty of doing this, and skipping pages a head to see how a scene is going to end to see if

I am so guilty of doing this, and skipping pages a head to see how a scene is going to end to see if I need to brace myself for the feels.

* (  THE SEVEN HUSBANDS OF EVELYN HUGO /  SENTENCE PROMPTS

  • people think that intimacy is about sex. but intimacy is about truth.
  • never let anyone make you feel ordinary.
  • i’m under absolutely no obligation to make sense to you.
  • don’t ignore half of me so you can fit me into a box.
  • don’t do that.
  • it’s always been fascinating to me how things can be simultaneously true and false, how people can be good and bad all in one.
  • sometimes reality comes crashing down on you.
  • heartbreak is a loss. divorce is a piece of paper.
  • when you’re given an opportunity to change your life, be ready to do whatever it takes to make it happen.
  • the world doesn’t give things, you take things.
  • you have to find a job that makes your heart feel big instead of one that makes it feel small.
  • please never forget that the sun rises and sets with your smile.
  • you’re the only thing on this planet worth worshipping.
  • be wary of men with something to prove.
  • the cruelest thing you can do to someone you love, give them just enough good to make them stick through a hell of a lot of bad.
  • you wonder what it must be like to be a man, to be so confident that the final say is yours.
  • i think you’re brilliant.
  • i think you’re tough.
  • do yourself a favor and learn to grab life by the balls.
  • don’t be so tied up in trying to do the right thing when the smart thing is so painfully clear.
  • you can be sorry about something and not regret it
  • the world respects people who think they should be running it.
  • if i want things to change, i have to change how i do things. and probably drastically.
  • people are messy, and love can be ugly.
  • i’m inclined to always err on the side of compassion.
  • you can’t tell a single thing about a person’s true character if you both want the same thing.
  • no one is just a victim or a victor. everyone is somewhere in between.
  • just go knowing you were loved, that i will never forget you.
  • you were my best friend.
  • nobody deserves anything. it’s simply a matter of who’s willing to go and take it for themselves.
  • why have i spent so long settling for less when i know damn well the world expects more?
  • taking pride in your beauty is a damning act.
  • forgiveness is different from absolution.
  • sometimes divorce isn’t an earth-shattering loss. sometimes it’s just two people waking up out of a fog.
  • if there are all different types of soul mates, then you are one of mine.
  • i am absolutely positive that i need you more than i’ve ever needed another living soul.
  • i loved you so much that i thought you were the meaning of my life.
  • i thought that people were put on earth to find other people, and i was put here to find you.
  • i don’t want to be meant for someone like you.
  • that’s the part i was stuck in, the part where you accept the apology because it’s easier than addressing the root of the problem.
  • it will be the tragedy of my life that i cannot love you enough to make you mine.
  • it’s a hard business, reconciling what the truth used to be with what the truth is now.
  • you’re an idealist and a romantic, and you have a beautiful soul.
  • i wish the world was ready to be the way you see it.
  • i wish that the rest of the people on earth with us were capable of living up to your expectations. but they aren’t.
  • the world is ugly, and no one wants to give anyone the benefit of the doubt about anything.
  • i love you too much to let you live only for me.
  • i’m cynical and i’m bossy, and most people would consider me vaguely immoral.
  • i spent half my time loving her and the other half hiding how much i loved her.
  • it shouldn’t be wrong, to love you. how can it be wrong?
  • i think being yourself—your true, entire self—is always going to feel like you’re swimming upstream.
  • you could be a nobody living in a cardboard box, and i’d still love you.
  • i simply didn’t care. it cost so much, caring. i didn’t have any currency to spend on it.
  • some marriages aren’t really that great. some loves aren’t all-encompassing.
  • the media are going to tell whatever story they want to tell. they always have. they always will.
  • charisma is charm that inspires devotion.
  • you’re not really famous if anybody still likes you.
  • you should know this about the rich: they always want to get richer. it is never boring, getting your hands on more money.
  • the truth is, praise is just like an addiction. the more you get it, the more of it you need just to stay even.
  • you have to push people’s boundaries and not feel bad about it. no one is going to give you anything if you don’t ask for it.
  • when you’ve been bested, sometimes it’s good to recognize it and move on.
  • no one goes around throwing caution to the wind unless the wind is blowing their way.
  • the easiest lie to tell is one you know the other person desperately wants to be true.
  • pictures speak very loudly. in general, we can almost never shake what we see with our eyes.
  • we all can’t go around treating people like dog shit and then expecting that a simple i’m sorry erases it.
  • guilt is a feeling i’ve never made much peace with. i find that when it rears its head, it brings an army.
  • when i feel guilty for one thing, i start to see all the other things i should feel guilty for.
  • accepting that something is true isn’t the same as thinking that it is just.
