“I suppose she was afraid of linking her life indissolubly to mine. She had a horror of anything irrevocable.”
— Violet Keppel Trefusis, in Broderie Anglaise (1935)
Do you know why I love the “enemies to friends to lovers” trope so much? Because a relationship like that involves RESPECT. They start off hating each other and then they have to work togerher until they realize they have something in common, so they develop a respect that slowly turns into love. Those are the most solid ships y’all.
if we’re mutuals, and I don’t care whether we’ve been mutuals for twelve (12) minutes or three (3) years, you can send me a message any time about any thing. family life is shit? bitch, tell me about it and even if I can’t help, I can listen. struggling with mental illness and feel like you can’t talk to anyone? talk to me. literally. you always can. saw a cute cat? SEND THAT BITCH MY WAY
I'm sorry but how am I supposed to act normal about these 😭
i bet the stars would be so proud to know their fragments created someone like you
