“That night I wanted to set you free. I wanted you to feel something instead of feeling dark and twisted. You always talk about your past like it’s the last good thing left. You like talking about the days when life didn’t taste sour and when your blood didn’t smell like wine. But when you talk about now and what’s ahead your words spill poison inside your head. You tell me things like you regret opening up because it gave people the chance to dig holes inside your heart. But that night I wanted everything to be different. I wanted to bottle up the stars like you do to your feelings, and maybe just maybe you’ll decide to come out of the dark.”

— Alexa Evangelista, Random #3

[thehopefulquotes]

I was always attracted not by some quantifiable, external beauty, but by something deep down, something absolute. Just as some people have a secret love for rainstorms, earthquakes, or blackouts, I liked that certain, undefinable something.

— Haruki Murakami, The Unvisited

"What it feels like to be alive?"

"Oh, that a real tricky one. Umm.. lemme think," she sauntered towards the window, looking out, "yeah, i got it. I think life shows us being alive means reaching out to the hearts of people who affect ours. Accepting someone else, coming to like someone, caring for someone, offering snacks to siblings, giving chocolates to the friend who've been down lately, holding someone's hands, hugging someone who needs it, telling someone how you feel, having courage to walk away from the things you don't like, reaching out for someone when they need help, i think these are the proof that you're really alive. If you're always alone, how can you know that you're even alive? I think the relationships we have with others are what show that we're truly alive in this world. My heart only beats because of the people i have in my life. My body only exists because of the people who come in contact with it. Most people don't realize this but life is filled with so much meaning. You and I for instance. The reason we're alive is because of all those choices we've made so far."

Words to replace said, except this actually helps

I got pretty fed up with looking for words to replace said because they weren’t sorted in a way I could easily use/find them for the right time. So I did some myself.

But reminder, everyone, that using ‘said’ is still perfectly fine in most circumstances. These just help break up the repetition.
