“Listen to me, your body is not a temple. Temples can be destroyed and desecrated. Your body is a forest—thick canopies of maple trees and sweet scented wildflowers sprouting in the underwood. You will grow back, over and over, no matter how badly you are devastated.”
― Beau Taplin

“We accept the love we think we deserve.”
― Stephen Chbosky, The Perks of Being a Wallflower

“Human beings
are made of water–-

we were not designed
to hold ourselves together

rather run freely
like oceans
like rivers”
― Beau Taplin, Hunting Season

“There is an unfair responsibility that comes with being an only child - you grow up knowing you aren't allowed to disappoint, you're not even allowed to die. There isn't a replacement toddling around; you're it. It makes you desperate to be flawless, and it also makes you drunk with the power. In such ways are despots made.”
― Gillian Flynn, Gone Girl
