“Everybody wants to be a hero
But most of us are just misunderstood villains”

“When I was younger
I thought I had superpowers
Thought if I sat real still and stared at a book
No one would be able to see me
I got so good at it
I forgot that I’m the only one playing the game
Sit still with a book or my head down
And you can go missing”
― Mahogany L. Browne, Chlorine Sky

And hearing you
Without you having to say
Everything
Every time”
