“I call it an espresso squared — two double espresso’s thrown together in a big mug. It’s just an atomic bomb of energy, works miracles.”

                barbara’s expression bordered on skeptic, but she tried to keep her distaste for the idea from showing. “i don’t know, i’m personally not particularly fond of coffee. i think i’ll just rely on sheer determination & will to keep me going. --- although, perhaps i can charm it to taste like hot chocolate instead...” she mused, trailing off in thought. 

guess who’s entirely made out of sunshine

❝ You always hand over the good things first; here is my l a u g h t e r, here is my confidence, here is the part of me I think is cute and worth loving. Eventually, you close your eyes and hold out something heavy – here is the thing you might leave me for. If you’re LUCKY, they pick it up easily. If you’re lucky, they’ll let you hold theirs too. ❞

My goal in life is to be one of those people who are just light. You see them and you suddenly feel so warm inside and all you want to do is hug them. And they look at you and smile with the warmest light in their eyes…. and you love them. maybe not in a romantic way but you just want to be close to them and you hope some of their light transfers onto you.

Don’t you dare, for one minute, believe that my kindness makes me anything but insurmountable. I did not unzip my chest to every kind of hurt, and stagger back, wounded and alive, just to hear you call me weak for trying.
