no cause the first thing that came to my mind when she said the tortured poets department was this

I am the person that I am today because when I was 14 i would wake every day before school and put this on the background reading my favorite passages from the book and writing universe city podcast episode of my own

i love being independent but i also want someone to love and talk to but i always want to be left alone but im also lonely

I am consuming a media and you are going to hear about it

EXCERPT #33:

Hello. I hope somebody is listening.

[...]

I am doing well, thank you for asking. In fact, I have been searching for a new favourite hiding spot, actually.

The last one ended up being infiltrated by a group of youngsters, and suddenly there were too many people there who could mess with my things.

Hell, once, some teen actually took one of my things! Those menacing kids… The only person I truly trusted in my hideout was Thalia. I don’t think about her much these days.

On another note, I can’t wait to try out this new hiding spot, although it is a big risk, as you never know when them kids could show up. It seems they end up finding all of my good hiding spots! I would hate to have to be an adult and kick them out.

I want to have a good spot for my set-up, one that allows me to talk on this radio to anyone who may be listening, like you, dear listener, directly. Especially so without this bad, busy background noise. I do apologise for my microphone, it seems to have been bugging out recently.

I do miss talking to you, old sport. I am always wishing back the old days. But, instead, I must not dwell on the past. Instead, I need to keep looking towards the future.

People say a lot of things about the future and its memories. That they’re scary… Unknown… Even dangerous. But that mustn’t stop you from dreaming and fulfilling those dreams. They could come true, you know?

You must be true to yourself, old sport. Keep on shining.

And, always, keep on listening.

I'm frances in the way that when it comes down to it "it's always just me and the countryside, me and the fields and the grey"

radio silence is for the "gifted kids" who were always pressured to be smart. radio silence is for the ones who find ways to escape reality in books, movies, music, podcasts, drawing. radio silence is for the ones who care about the people close to them, yet feel like they're not doing enough for them. radio silence is for the ones who find someone to relate to in frances, aled, daniel, raine, carys, becky. it's for the ones who are figuring themselves out, those who are confused. the ones who were always different, either in fashion sense, hobbies, or for being "weird". and for those who, despite hearing the opposite their whole life, know friendship can matter a lot more than romance.

for that i love this book, and for that i love alice for creating something like this <3

actually tumblr should pay ME for sticking around this long

Did anyone here read radio silence for the first time because of kat from the yt channel paperbackdreams?
