Dear Tumblr,
I wanted to give you all a heads up that I will no longer be using this site. It’s absolutely nothing personal - in fact, I’m quitting because I LOVE TUMBLR SO MUCH it’s distracting me from life, and I just can’t keep doing that to myself. My tumblr will still exist, and I’m sure that from time to time I’ll put something up, but it will be for my own personal...

We were star-crossed. Wanting to be together, but never really belonging. Heaven knows we tried, but we were never meant to win.

What do you order for chinese?
In town, we have this lovely little institution we like to call “Cheap Chinese” and for 4.50 you can get 3 sides and rice. SO. I always always always get salt and pepper chicken, chicken and broccoli, and then usually sesame chicken with white rice, lo mein, or fried rice depending.
At home, I get cashew chicken.
(I’m passionate about my chinese)
oh hi there, i love you.

I don’t want your arms. Compared to the ones that hold me now, they leave the world to be desired. And I don’t want your eyes, they were never my favorite thing about you. And the texture of your hair was course and it would ensnare my fingers - so I don’t want that either. And I don’t want your mouth - running, and running, and running about all the things I pretended to...
I don't get many things right the first time. In...
I wanted to save you, and I didn't even like you.
But somehow I thought that maybe - if I dusted you off and filled you with love, my heart might stretch to hold you in it.

Day 15 — A fanfic
I found this years ago. It kills me.
Summary: A love story of the past five years between Hermione and Severus. Severus tells the story from the beginning while Hermione tells the story from the end.
Why are we so eager to hand our hearts to lovers on silver platters, when we know full well they’ll chew us up and spit us out, demolished? Or even worse, swallow us, and keep us locked up tight forever inside them, burning away into lonely love, with only a faint memory of a time when their lips grazed our skin?

It happens when I don’t expect it. When I read a word, or see a picture that brings you to the forefront of my mind so painfully and clearly. No warning, no protection, none of the usual defense I build up around my heart when I can see memories of you coming. Suddenly you’re beyond my walls and I remember, really remember what it was like to love you. Sometimes I forget that I really...
