The solution for a rather irritating paradox:...
There are always going to be people who are too immature to know what ‘weak’ is and isn’t. Sometimes its people who are just in their teens, sometimes people keep on not knowing the difference into their thirties or forties. People who will see someone taking the high road or giving you another chance after a fuck-up as them being weak and unable to leave you, and people who have...

Thank you for sending us your proposed manuscript.

Irritated
I need to get fixed. Today I finished enough of one big story to be satisfied for now that it’s mostly done and just needs small additions over time, decided that enough of it is done for me to be satisfied for now and that I need to take a break from it.
A few hours later, now I’m thinking of really really wanting to write a new story. A scary one that would creep people out. This is...

Expressions
Even if I had all the talent in the world, there are some things I wouldn’t be able to describe.
Like her expression, sometimes, when she looked at me, when her eyes seemed so completely full of trust that it made me freak out a little bit inside, suddenly feeling the responsibility of living up to it, knowing from what she’d told me that she’d never placed that kind of trust in anyone...
This is so catchy.

I'm lucky enough to
Be able to say I’ve had a moment where I felt, actually thought in my head- If I died right then I’d be doing so satisfied, cos I’ve seen something beautiful enough for a lifetime. I don’t know if a lot of people will be able to say that, so I’m glad I can.
It was the early hours of the morning, an hour and half or so before dawn, and we were leaving a small...

Mr Whitmore: How many of us have lost countless productive hours plagued by unwanted sexual thoughts and feelings...
Xander: Yes!
Mr Whitmore: That was a rhetorical question, Mr. Harris, not a poll.
Politeness.

The partially permeable membrane.
‘Nice guys always finish last.’ This is something most people say, to tell you that it’s no use being nice or good in a relationship. ’Nice guys never get the girl.’ I’ll give the guys following me (read: at this moment, none) some advice now.
There are always going to be people not mature enough to realize the difference between weakness and goodness.
Someone...
Auburn.
My cousin was once talking to this guy who had a thing for her. During a conversation, she mentioned to him that she found the color red sexy, referring to clothes and ties and the like.
A couple days later, she was hanging out with us when she got a text from the same guy. He had messaged her to tell her that he had just dyed his hair red and wanted to see her opinion.
I hope that she never...

Immortality...
That’s a writer’s superpower.
I’ll write about this, about us. And that way it’ll be immortal. Because what else is immortality?
Everything but your own thoughts and your own existence is a perception, something formed in your mind by observation. A memory, of the ongoing or of the past.
And for generations people will read this and it will exist in their minds, the...

Tumblove.
What all of us seem to wait for, what all of us seem to want, is for people to get us. For people to see what we’re feeling and say wow, I can’t believe you feel the same way too.. For people to see some little thing you love and get it, so it’s your own little secret shared understanding. And that’s one thing that’s so wonderful about Tumblr. You can pour your heart out into...
