i should have something to say by now but sometimes life moves too quickly to write down more than halves of phrases lines of a story, moments of a dialogue that may never be complete for the sake of completing your life.

she didn’t feel like a queen. but a queen is not a queen because of how she feels. she is a queen because she is.

how to walk like a queen [x]

[stoneandbloodandwater]

Okay so this shit is in my likes and it’s come across my dash a few times since but this is the first time I’ve seen it since the following happened to me:

One time I was in Manhattan and I had a lot of walking to do and I was bored and was thinking about this gifset and I thought, huh, lets try it. So I did and I was thinking queenly, murderous thoughts and trying to see if people were more willing to get out of my way when I walked like this and then, I watch a guy pass me, do a double take, then a triple take.

Then he engages me in polite conversation for a block or two, tells me I have beautiful hair, then asks me out of drinks. 

CHARLIZE THERON IS A SMART LADY BUT HER ADVICE IS POWERFUL. USE IT WISELY AND WITH CAUTION, MEN MIGHT START THROWING THEMSELVES AT YOU.

In addition to this, I naturally walk like this, and it has the best affect on people let me tell you. I mean, when I’m in the hallways, I slouch and lurk through bc I hate everyone, but when I’m in the lunch room or a classroom, this is how I normally walk, and everyone stares at me in awe. It’s pretty fuckin’ great, it makes you feel confident in yourself. So, if you’re having a bad day and need some self confidence, do exactly as Charlize Theron tells you, and you will get looks of awe and pure affection. It’s fantastic.

Ever since I saw this post, I’ve been doing this and let me tell you, it boosts your self confidence by 110%. I recommend that everyone tries it.

You want someone to save you. You picture someone asking the question "are you okay?" But it's not until they do and you respond with "yeah I'm fine" When you most definitely are not, that you realise you don't want someone to ask you "are you okay?" You want someone to ask you what's wrong. You don't want to have to admit you're a mess on a hallway floor. You want someone to just know you're not okay. Is that okay?

I’ve struggled with long fiction novel style fiction my entire writing career, but I’m really working on developing an idea. I want some that is representative of being alive and a millennial right now, but isn’t some teenage bs. This needs to be a real representation of raw life and real issues but I want to tell it more in the manner of The Master and Margarita

[awaveofwriting]

I’m writing stories in our pauses, because it’s so easy to write in silences that feel like comfort I’m writing stories in our glances, because that extra half second is time enough to write a novel I’m writing stories about loving you, because I could because you’re complex and uncharted, you’re an exploration dressed as a person but maybe I’m just writing stories because daydreams let us feel the warmth, and forget we’re on fire

In reading this your life has intertwined with mine.

I’m sorry I know people don’t work like that You can’t walk into ikea and shop by specification

"Hi, I’m looking for a girl, beautiful hair and she’ll kiss me under the stars, we’ll bake endlessly and travel somewhere only nature can find us

Do you have anything like that in store for me?”

But God, do you have anything like that in store for me?

I study space and time So I know how much you need that if you are ever going to be okay

The act of forgetting is a disservice to all the glass I've smashed. I regret smashing the glass over and over. So much. I regretted it so much, I kept picking up the shards over and over, cutting myself, trying to put them back together only to smash them again. I am bleeding. You are broken. I am the villain. I am sorry. But if I don't forget, I will cut myself on the memories. I need to stop bleeding. I'm sorry. But I have to forget. I have to shut out the past and move on.

I've spilled so many secrets, Quiet stories and etched marks, Just to show someone I'm human. Or that they're human. I've said words that can't ever be said when the sun is up. Words that are surrounded by silence even in a noisy room. Words for my own gain, Or someone else's. Sometimes both. Sometimes neither.
