“The thing about being underwater is that it’s not—quiet, I mean. I can’t hear what’s happening above the surface, but when I’m totally submerged, I hear the water. I hear its song, the way it sings to itself and anybody who comes below to hear it. I love the way it never changes, and the way I’m always different when I’m here.”
― Bethany C. Morrow, A Song Below Water

“Whenever you hear a story about villainous women, you should ask who’s telling the story.

― Kalynn Bayron, This Poison Heart

You just have no choice. You choose to love or you choose to live in an empty world with no one there but you. And that seems like a truly terrible way to spend eternity.”
― Cassandra Clare, The Lost Book of the White

“i’m breathing aren’t i
that’s gotta be a sign that
the universe is on my side
if i’ve made it this far
i can make it all the way”
