“sometimes if you let people do things to you, you’re really doing it to them.” - sharp objects

“they say it’s good to let your grudges go, but i don’t know, i’m quite fond of my grudge. i tend it like a little pet.” - big little lies

“it’s a very difficult era in which to be a person, just a real, actual person, instead of a collection of personality traits selected from an endless automat of characters.” - gone girl

“it’s a very greek idea, and a very profound one. beauty is terror. whatever we call beautiful, we quiver before it.” - the secret history

“I am thinking of beauty again, how some things are hunted because we have deemed them beautiful. If, relative to the history of our planet, an individual life is so short, a blink, as they say, then to be gorgeous, even from the day you're born to the day you die, is to be gorgeous only briefly.”

grey, overcast days spent running around with friends. slipping on icy sidewalks as you laugh together and get caught in the rain.

warm, sunny days spent laying around in the park. picnics, soft touches, endless hours spent among the trees and grass.

🎶 Girls 🎶

for the pretty girls

for the girls on cloud 9

for the girls with stars in their eyes

for the angsty girls

for the soft girls

laying on the rooftop. dull stars above you, the rest of the world below. the wind blows around you and chills you to the bone.

bumblebees. fields of flowers. warm days. rainbows. a shining sun

riding your bike aimlessly through the neighborhood. your headphones are plugged in, your music is blaring, you've tuned out the world completely.

the exciting and terrifying realization that you're in love with your best friend
