[glasshalffullquotes]

I want to go home. I will always want to go home. Even when I am at home I want to go home. But I’m not really thinking of a place, it’s more that feeling of everything finally being over, of seeing the light in the windows of your house on a cold night, of being safe, the relief of leaving a party you’re not enjoying, like when you felt sick at school and they sent you home, or when you got upset at a sleepover and they called your parents. I want my mum to come get me. I want to go home.

“Sometimes I feel like I’m just waiting for something that will never happen,” he said. “Like I’m just existing from day to day but will never really matter. I get up in the morning because I have to, because I have to do something or I’m just wasting space, or because if I don’t answer the phone my dad will be alone. But it’s an effort, it takes work. I have to tell myself, every day, get up. Get up, do this, move like this, talk to people, be normal, try to be social, be nice, be patient. On the inside I just feel like, I don’t know, nothing. Like I’m just an algorithm someone put in place.”

- Alone With You in The Ether

[glasshalffullquotes]

Because we were looking at the same sky together, which is maybe more intimate than eye contact anyway. Anybody can look at you. It's quite rare to find someone who sees the same world as you

Turtles all the way down, John Green 

[glasshalffullquotes]

I’ll have to remember you for longer than I knew you, and I don’t think I’ll ever come to terms with that.

[glasshalffullquotes]

Isn’t it funny. I’m enjoying my hatred so much more than I ever enjoyed love. Love is temperamental. Tiring. It makes demands. Love uses you, changes it’s mind. But hatred, now, that’s something you can use. Sculpt. Wield. It’s hard, or soft, however you need it. Love humiliates you, but hatred cradles you.

Janet Finch, White Oleander

[glasshalffullquotes]

There was ‘before’ you and there was ‘during’ you. For some reason, I never thought there would be an ‘after’ you.

But there was, and I was in it.

I’ll be in it forever.

Death and taxes.

[glasshalffullquotes]

The preacher may never marry us and my mama may never know you but I can kiss you over a flask of whiskey and dance with you under the stars and if that isn't marriage I'm not sure what else God is looking for.

Mr. Townsend approached. "Abuse can feel like love..." he repeated. "Why?" Damon remained so still it didn't look like he was breathing. He looked at the teacher, unwavering. "Starving people will eat anything."

I walk around the world like a ghost, and sometimes I question whether I even exist. Whether l've ever existed at all.
