I’ve watched Lo become sober.
I’ve watched Lily curb a relentless addiction. (I’m proud of you, sis.)
I’ve watched Rose blaze her own trail and put fire to stereotypes.
I’ve watched Connor fall in love. With more than just himself.
I’ve watched Ryke Meadows unclip his shackles and rise again.
And me. I’ve discovered who I am. I am Daisy Petunia Meadows. And I’m here to stay

9-27-14 - The day that I kissed Daisy for the very first time
8-12-16 - The day that I asked her to marry me
7-15-17 - The day we became husband and wife
2-4-18 - The day our daughter was born
Beneath Sullivan’s birthdate on my forearm, Daisy scribbled in black pen
5-19-18 Today.
The day I climb again.

“I love you.” Tears squeeze out of her eyes. “No matter where we are, you’re always going to be my girl.”

There’s no way I can go without reading willow and garrisons book now😭😭

He never gives up on me, even when I disappear at night. His love is unyielding and exists to cloak me through heartache, through misery, through laughter and pain. I love him in every moment
In every smile. In every frown
And I will love him after every long way down
He can mourn. He can grieve. He can be upset for the rest of his life. And still I will never give up on Ryke Meadows
Like he never once gave up on me.

Lily is quiet for a moment before she says, “I’m tougher than you think. You just need to believe in me. You know, like a fairy.”

Awh Lily

Favorite Sayings from Ryke Meadows:
My favorite: I fucking love you
Willow’s: I don’t fucking understand Tumblr
Lo’s: Fuck you, you fucking fuck
Lily’s: Fucking fantastic
Rose’s: No means no. Better yet, fuck no
Connor’s: Connor Cobalt is a fucking narcissist

Not this book making me cry and then laugh within the same 5 minutes what a rollercoaster

I vow, “Wherever you go, I’ll go.” As long as I’m alive, this will never fucking change.

Somewhere along the way, she found her voice. Somewhere along the way, she found her stride. I’m just the grateful fucking guy who was given the chance to stand by her side.
Through it all.

Aaaahhh this is all beautiful

People say you can’t describe love, but I have this theory that you can. It’s just subjective. Do you want to know what love feels like for me?
It’s breathing and suffocating. Sobbing and smiling. Yearning and fading. To ache that much harder. To live that much larger. It’s every moment. Every single, tiny one.

🎶 Sweet Disposition - The Temper Trap 🎶

“I’ve heard that people spend a really long time finding their soul mates. It took you two long enough, didn’t it?” Lo says. “But I want you two to know—from the bottom of my black, decaying heart—I love you both, and the only perfect world has Ryke standing beside Daisy and Daisy standing beside Ryke. Anything less is fucked up.”
