him: why does the real moon bore you? her: it doesn't. not from afar anyway; but when i get too close it loses its magic him: does that happen with everything? her: i'm afraid if i say yes you'll think it applies to you too him: does it? her: no. but to everything else? yeah

S: "I don't know what we will be. Perhaps we will remain just this: two people who crossed paths too early and too slowly.

But I promise you one thing: I will never stop being grateful for the way you look at me.

And I love you."

[albyr96]

S: "You know me: I am made of sudden moments of enthusiasm and withdrawal, of impulse and silence. And I don't want your soul — which is enormous, I can feel it — to remain hanging on me like a promise I perhaps don't have the strength to keep."

[albyr96]

S: "Yes, it's true: I have always been afraid. Of things that are too intense, of feelings that demand space, of people who want to get too close too fast. And perhaps you always sensed this. You never cornered me, you never made me feel indebted. You stayed. And that is an incredibly rare form of love."

Person A: How do I know he's the right one? How can I be completely sure that there won't come around anyone who's even better and even "righter" for me?

Person B: You know he's the rightest you could ever come across when you don't ask yourself that question. There's a reason the word " right " is usually not compared. . .

sumshel asked wtfplus:

Just found out that Forever 21 has done away with all of their in-store plus size sections in my area, Los Angeles. And their return policy is crap. WTF.

ew, good to know (well, not 'good', but you know what i mean)- forever 21 is a great example of what i'm wary of with the modcloth announcement.  basically, this is what happens every time:

clothing company: hey, let's make plus size clothing !  but only sell it online or in limited stores.

fat people: hmm, i'm reticent about buying clothes online without trying them on, and none of your stores in my area carry the plus line, but we'll give it a try.

clothing company: hey, but what if we make the clothes pretty mediocre?  our super thin buyer thinks fat women will like big baggy sacks to cover their fat shame, polyester sassy diva leopard print, fake leather covered in non-functional zippers, and like 30 stunning tank tops featuring a union jack covered in sequins (US only)?

fat people: hmm, i don't really like this stuff, but i like the non-plus stuff you make. can you just make that stuff bigger?

clothing company: i can't hear you, your fat is too loud.

fat people: we said...

clothing company: never mind, you people aren't buying the clothes we were so nice to offer to you, so we're taking it out of stores.

fat people: well, i guess we can buy it online, but we can't try stuff on and your return policy where we have to pay for return shipping or pay a restocking fee means we're basically paying money to try your clothes on...

clothing company: well if you're going to be like that, we're going to stop carrying it online too !!!!  plus size clothes just don't sell !!!!  we TRIED !!!  we can't offer bigger sizes because we TRIED and fat people were so ungrateful !!!

prove me wrong, modcloth !
