there'll be so much love, you won't be able to see beyond it

i love pink stargazer lilies, moving to a new country every six months, and finding grace in strange places (title quote from "backwards" by warsan shire)

i think every publisher should have to institute a ban on books that fail what i’m calling the “little life” and “what else?” tests

why not have the reader re-read a sentence now and then? it won't hurt him....

[ID: tweet from @/MrNeilScott reads: "Why not have the reader re-read a sentence now and then? It won't hurt him." Nabokov to his New Yorker editor. Attached is an excerpt reading: I shall be very grateful to you if you help me to weed out bad grammar but I do not think I would like my longish sentences clipped too close, or those drawbridges lowered which I have taken such pains to lift. In other words, I would like to discriminate between awkward construction (which is bad) and a certain special — how shall I put it — sinuosity, which is my own and which only at first glance may seem awkward or obscure. Why not have the reader re-read a sentence now and then? It won't hurt him. /end ID]

Does it ever make them completely insane when they think about how they went from fuckbuddies to husbands. I know it took over a decade and some of those years were NOT fun but like. God they worked for it. Do they ever look at each other and just have a mutual moment of Oh My God Look At Us. It's always been you. I have wanted you my whole adult life. Some days I never thought we would get here. Some days I was too afraid to even WANT to get here. There were times I didn't even know how to want this. I've been wanting you for so long that I don't even know when it turned into love. This was supposed to be one hookup. Eleven YEARS ago. And now you wear my ring. Fucking penicillin and gravity and electricity. We discovered this on accident. Fuck.
