I hope writers realize that were not here to
Impress anyone
Make people like us
We're not even here to write well
We're here to finish the book
And not be historically accurate or use the correct word for it
I hope we writers know you can overexplain something and then remember the short word that summarises the 3 pages once u publish the book
This is for all teenage, rupi kaur 'cringey' writers as well. (I dont like u but u deserve a place on this earth aswell)

“If the full moon loves you, why worry about the stars?”

"He wraps my fingers around the knife.
he's so close.
The only barrier between us is this pointed silver weapon.
He whispers softly, inches away from my lips— "Kill or kiss."
He moves even more forward, if that is possible. His breathy words are hush of air on my lips "-the choice is yours."
My heart is hammering in my chest. His eyes hold mine captive, not leaving for a second.
He stares at me, so desperate—
I press the tip of the knife into his throat.
My shadow casts over him as his knees grow weaker, eventually sitting him on top of the bed. Thighs find themselves on either side of him.
Blood trickles where I've pressed the knife.
My lips brush his and I feel the electricity dominating his nerves. I do not flinch when I speak.
"Why not both?"

This so mean why my trauma isn't cool af ugh
You fill me with so much being that I no longer feel woman nor man around you, the presence realization of you puts me in a trance-like state, away from the concept of reality, logic and nature— rather I am forever a cloud hanging around you, only ever activated when ever I am, once again, struck by the realization of you.

at this point in time, the epitome of moral bankruptcy is engaging in whataboutism
especially when one side has food cut off by the occupier who also bombed the main bakeries
when one side has fuel cut off by the occupier who also bombed the power plants
when one side has had all humanitarian aid preempted by the occupier who also bombed over 15 hospitals
when one side is ordered to evacuate by the occupier who is also placing the whole population under a 16 year siege
stop inserting futile and absurd ~"counter arguments"~ and read the fucking room!!
