Good books are always controversial because a lot of good books explore the human condition and then people with shitty reading comprehension complain that they didn’t like it for x,y,z reason because they have shitty reading comprehension

“Why you? Why us? Why anything? Because this moment just is… Have you ever seen insects trapped in amber? […] “Well, here we are, Mr. Pilgrim, trapped in the amber of this moment. There is no why.” ― Kurt Vonnegut, Slaughterhouse-Five

Mama I don't want kids, I say. For the hundredth time. Mother has this look on her face, it sits still- something between disappointment and bewilderment. But who will take care of you, she says, when you're older? And that is a rotten feeling. To believe that a child is only as good as what it does for its parents. To believe you are only as good as you give. To believe you owe someone, only to feel love. Who deserves this? Who deserves this wretched snarling beast sitting in my chest, whispering, shrieking- give, give, give.

-Ritika Jyala, The Beast that makes me Give

I stopped explaining myself when I realized not everyone listens to understand.

earlier today i told an acquaintance in passing that i'll often be in the middle of a novel and think "man i wish this shit were more ambiguous" and had to reiterate twice that i wasn't being sarcastic before they believed me, so this post is to say: i love when writers don't bother to explain everything, i love when stories end uncertain and unsettling, i love being required to think as a reader, i love when stuff makes no damn sense, no i'm not kidding

relationships are really beautiful when you and your partner are actually good friends. you show up together, share inside jokes, talk openly, have fun, and totally vibe like besties. they shouldn’t replace your actual friends but it’s amazing when the dynamic isn't just romantic

The purest form of love is consideration. When someone thinks about how things would make you feel. Pays attention to detail. Holds you in regard when making decisions that could affect you. In any bond, how much they care about you can be found in how much they consider you
