#never read her

[lo1slane]

can authors stop making “dark romance books” take place in educational setting (like high school or college) bc wtf is a 18 y.o rich boy gonna do to me? force me to do write his essay? 

joke aside, it takes a lot of opportunities away from the “dark” element. and not to mention how gross it is to put teenagers in those situations

Eventually I began to find answers to my questions, but they were not complete answers, and after a time I did not feel the need for complete answers, because I saw that part of the force of the painting was that it continued to elude explanation. I became willing to allow aspects of the painting to remain mysterious, and I became willing to allow aspects of other problems to remain unsolved as well, and it was this new tolerance for, and then satisfaction in, the unexplained and unsolved that marked a change in me.

Lydia Davis, excerpt of “Les Bluets” 1973 from Poetry Magazine.

Choose someone who denigrates love, not who keeps celebrating it. Choose someone who's still got their ex's ghost in their eyes and finds it hard to talk about them, not someone who goes and calls them cunts two days later. Choose who avoids your eyes while telling you they like you, not who writes it everyday on a social network. Choose them. I promise you. They will love you. They will love you even after you leave them, they will love you even when you're not thinking about them. And if they write, play, paint, be sure you'll be their damned love. They will love you not because they're fans of love, not because they need someone or they feel lonely. Even without you, they keep going on remarkably. They will never love love, but they will love you.
