Romancing the Reader

“Some things break when you put too much pressure on them, but those shards they break into can be twice as deadly.”
― C.M. Stunich, Anarchy at Prescott High

“I wish I could rewrite you out of my life
But all your pages are highlighted
Dog-eared and thumbed to death
I can no longer read you
But you are still my favorite poem”
― L.J. Shen, Pretty Reckless

“I missed it the way you miss the sun after a long stretch of cloudy days, where you begin to forget the cloudiness, forget to miss the sun, and then one day it comes back to you so hot and clear and bright that you wonder how you ever lived without it.”
― Sierra Simone, American Prince

“Attraction isn’t something that only happens once, with one person. It’s part of what drives humans. Our attraction to each other, to art, to food, to entertainment. Attraction is fun. So when you decide to commit to someone, you aren’t saying, ‘I promise I’ll never be attracted to anyone else.’ You’re saying, ‘I promise to commit to you, despite my potential future attraction to other people.”
― Colleen Hoover, Regretting You
