I love everything about her, and I’m not a guy who says that lightly, I’m a guy who has faked love his entire life, I’m a guy who thought love was just something idiots felt, but this woman has a hold on my heart that I could not break if I wanted to. And there have been times when I wanted to. It has been overwhelming and humbling, and even painful at times, but I could not stop loving her any more than I could stop breathing. I’m hopelessly, irretrievably in love with her.                                                                                                                                                                             M o r e  t h a n  s h e  k n o w s.

you’ve gotta stat romanticizing your life. you gotta start believing that your morning commute is cute and fun, that every cup of coffee is the best you’ve ever had, that even the smallest and most mundane things are exciting and new. you have to, because that’s when you start truly living. that’s when you look forward to every day.

tempting

i just love tv so much. the industry, the shows, the characters, the actors, the sets, the makeup, everything. 

which i why i hate the preconceived notion people have when i say i love tv and watch a lot of tv shows. they think i’m a lazy sob who would rather sit in bed staring at a screen for hours than do actual work. they don’t understand that while yes, i am laying in my bed staring at a screen, my mind is in 100 different places thinking about 100 different things. i analyze the characters and plot, i study the development, i love seeing how the cinematography changes during different moments and what that represents. there’s so much more to loving tv than just loving it for the surface level stuff.

and i hate that most people don’t understand this.

For one to find true happiness. They first had to survive immense sadness.

Petition to change “he looked at her like she was the sun” to “he looked at her like she was the moon” and any other variation bc I look at the moon in wonder and love and amazement while I’ve only ever just squinted angrily at the sun

[louisamayanniecat]

He looked at her like she was the sun, in that he never looked at her except in frustration. He basked in her warmth, he complained when she was gone, but he never looked. On days she was muted, he complained. On days she was stronger, he hid from her. He never looked at her until she was leaving, and in the beauty of the sunset he wondered how he’d never seen her before.
