Hi Azra! 6 months ago I fell in deep love with the most heartwarming guy on earth. I have OCD and an extreme fear of losing the people I love. I know you‘ve been in a healthy relationship for long and recently the long distance ended for you and you talked

Hi! I like this question.

I think that I’m no expert on love. This is my first proper relationship. We’ve been together for a while now and sometimes it IS boring. But that doesn’t translate to not good enough. I get to see my best friend everyday, I get to have conversations with them everyday, I get to cuddle and kiss them whenever I want, I get to go to sleep knowing that I am safe and content and that if I have a nightmare in the night, they’ll be there. If I’m cold, they’ll be there. If I’m unhappy, they’ll be there. He is the first person I want to call when anything at all happens to me.

There is nothing in the world that is better than that. It may not always be exciting and that’s okay, maybe for some people it wouldn’t be but it is for me.

Hi Azra, I've sent you an email on your hotmail account last week I just wanted to check if you received it :) x Isabelle

Hi Isabelle, I did get your email I’m so sorry I’m very scatterbrained. Your work is lovely and I’m incredibly proud that you’ve created something like that based on what I created!

sweatersnervously:

“Fairy tales are more than moral lessons and time capsules for cultural commentary; they are natural law. The child raised on folklore will quickly learn the rules of crossroads and lakes, mirrors and mushroom rings. They’ll never eat or drink of a strange harvest or insult an old woman or fritter away their name as though there’s no power in it. They’ll never underestimate the youngest son or touch anyone’s hairpin or rosebush or bed without asking, and their steps through the woods will be light and unpresumptuous. Little ones who seek out fairy tales are taught to be shrewd and courteous citizens of the seen world, just in case the unseen one ever bleeds over.”

5000letters:

“Mama, if you’re listening, 
I’m so terribly sorry, 
but I did not mean to love that beast
of a man. I did not even wear
that red cape, those red shoes
just the armful of poppies
and maybe they looked like blood
or maybe they looked like healing 
but I found him first, 
and dropped them like bloodstains
on the forest floor. 
Mama, he was howling, 
and oh, if you’d heard,
the oh, of his grief 
even the moon was crying for him
even the night was weeping
mama, I know that we met on the edge 
of some awful precipice
but he folded my hands into his claws
made sure they didn’t draw blood 
I asked him about his dark and he said
‘who will love me now?’ 
I did, mama. 
I fell in love with him then,
And he took me home and kissed me 
till my heart looked like pulp 
and we undressed each other from the inside out 
and we loved till it was brimming 
and mama, it was a disaster 
and it was devastating 
and it was light. 
I lost your poppies. 
I lost myself, too. 
And now there’s a beast and he’s crying
and he’s asking ‘who will love me now?’ 
And mama, I didn’t mean to but I will,
I will.”

5000letters:

“Women like you
should not be brutalised
by love. You are generations of blood and fire, you are all war. Take your knees from the floor. Don’t look at him. Something violent and brutal and ugly is howling inside of you.
Act like it.”

trainthief:

Can you imagine how fucking wild ladies must have gone for the rejection in pride and prejudice right after it was first published. This guy’s making ten thousand a year and her family is expecting her to find accommodation for herself sooner rather than later and STILL Lizzie is like “no. No. True love only. And also while I’ve got you here please accept my invitation to fuck off.” I would’ve lost my damn gourd, I would’ve gone bonkers. And group chats didn’t exist so you’d just have to hope your friends were as far into the book as you so you could meet at the village green to throw a fucking riot

Do you think you can fall in love with someone even though it feels like you’re approaching a crossroad in life and you’re choosing left and he’s choosing right? Do you think you should even let yourself risk the pain for the pleasure? Is that the root of

I think you can fall in love with anyone at anytime in whichever war.

I posted one of your poems on my Instagram story today and so many people asked me about you and I showed them was your book online that purchase and your tumblr , I was curious if you have an Instagram or anything else like that I could link people to ?

Yes, I’m going to put it publicly just so others know! Although there are no words on there just updates on my actual life. My name on insta is just azra.tabassum :)

(Ps, thanks for posting my words!)

I’m extremely protective of the person I’m becoming.

but does that mean peak emotions are always negative? i've once felt like my heart would explode because of the light inside, my heart could outshine the sun. that feeling was stronger than anything i have ever felt. even when i'm just in a bubble of bliss

Love is quiet for me. I’m at peace. What else is there?
