I exist between obsidian landscapes. Beneath a burgundy blanket. Within grey and navy sweaters. Amongst white eyeliners and tears that escape those eyes every so often. In a foreign land, where the moon doesn’t quite look like it does back home; although it is the same sky. Alongside time zones and unappealing dreams.
I want scrambled eggs w butter rosemary and Parmesan on toast but the truth is I’m not hungry and my taste buds are dull and sick, it won’t taste as good as I imagine, but I don’t know how to soothe myself when I feel like this! Feeling a little alone wish I had a girl friend I could meet for late night coffee and conversation weep weep
what i find funny about john green’s novels is that instantly after the we are introduced to the protagonist and the world they’re in/protagonist gets settled in they instantly meet someone that quotes obscure poets and has discourse over the beginning of the world and shit
like… fuck… i wish i could meet people like that
i know we’re both just messing around pretending to be whole but look at me. if the train was coming would you move. if the ground was falling from under your feet would you even notice or would it just be another tuesday for you. if somebody stabbed you could it hurt worse than you already do. what i’m saying is that i love you but i think we both drive over the speed limit when it’s raining. what i’m saying is that i want to hold your hand and i understand about how you sometimes have to sit down in the shower. what i’m saying is that i’m here for you and if the train comes please move.

“We chose the term “asexual” to describe ourselves because both “celibate” and “anti-sexual” have connotations we wished to avoid: the first implies that one has sacrificed sexuality for some higher good, the second that sexuality is degrading or somehow inherently bad. “Asexual”, as we use it, does not mean “without sex” but “relating sexually to no one”. This does not, of course, exclude masturbation but implies that if one has sexual feelings they do not require another person for their expression. Asexuality is, simply, self-contained sexuality.”
— The Asexual Manifesto, Lisa Orlando and Barbara Getz, 1972
“I just want to do something that matters. Or be something that matters. I just want to matter.”
— An Abundance of Katherines, John Green
