an independent writing blog for auden penelope west, of sarah dessen’s novel, along for the ride. movie-compliant with head canon interpretations. 

a character study of internalized misogyny, the fear of taking chances, growing up too fast and what it means to try again in the face of failure. also, summer romances, youth and healthy female friendships... and food fights, duh. 

as studied by dani, 24, she/her.

so sick how the only way you can get experience is through experience. and the only way you can get good is through the humiliating ordeal of sucking ass at it

This summer you’ve been pushing me to be this whole new version of myself, but you won’t tell me anything about who you are.

auden’s for the girlies that didn’t have friends growing up. the girlies who spent most of their time on the sidelines, on the outside looking in, for one reason or another. the girlies who took pride in being ‘not like other girls’. the girlies who said they hated pink, even though a part of them liked it. the girlies who suppressed their own trauma and never let their inner kid heal.

𝚑𝚎 𝚖𝚎𝚊𝚗𝚝 𝚑𝚒𝚜 𝚑𝚘𝚘𝚍𝚒𝚎.  I hadn’t noticed until an hour after arriving at the bike shop that I was still wearing it. the sleeves fell down my hands, and the smell of beach salt and sand and eli was faint, but comforting. it was warm around me, like a hug. it wasn’t until eli said I could keep it, though, that I realized I didn’t really want to hand it back. 

❛ yeah? ❜ biting back a smile, I wrapped my arms around myself, taking a seat on the available stool nearby. ❛ that’s... kind of like a quest thing, you know. ❜ it was too late to take it back, no matter how embarrassing it was to admit. ❛ you know... the whole... wearing your boyfriend’s clothes, thing. ❜
