tomorrow, Beyond the Valley of the Books will hold a 24 hour auction of donated items - among them, this pair of books. bidding for all items will stay open for 24 hours. at the end of the auction, the highest bidder for each item will make a donation in their bid amount, via PayPal, directly to The Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation. that bidder will then send his/her receipt to Beyond The Valley of the Books, who will in turn contact the donor with the mailing information.
and i will, with a gratefully glad heart, ship internationally.

a letter from me, to me ten years ago
hey little sunshine born a unicorn,
part of me (us) wants to tell you (us) what to do and what not to, give you (us) some tips and warnings, but for fear of that changing what we have now, i’m going to refrain.
instead, here are a few things to keep in mind:
this back of ours, we’re stuck with it for life. stretching is never, ever a bad idea (neither are decent shoes).
on that same note, it’s okay to let boys lift and carry things for you – physically and metaphorically.
(you carry your work on your shoulders. you always have and always will.)
also on that same note, these eyes are ours for life too. reading in the dark hurts them. wearing the same prescription too long hurts them a lot.
just because a boy throws his shoes in a fire doesn’t mean he understands how to love you.
and just because a boy carries you home in the snow doesn’t mean he’s worthy of you.
you won’t remember everything.
notes are important.
you don’t have to sit through all of commencement.
you don’t have to drink every shot someone hands you.
or apologize for being hurt.
or for being angry about being hurt.
you can’t make anyone else do what’s right.
or best.
or good.
new razors are sharper than you think you realize, and the people you trust are clumsy.
Hlub will not live forever.
neither will Andy.
spoken words are lot like toothpaste – once they’re out, they’re out. you can’t get them back in.
college is the most expensive party you’ll ever attend.
the puppy rolling in muddy sunlight is going to save you.
no trespassing means no trespassing.
Pete Wentz and Gerard Way are going to grow way bigger than El Torreon.
and through it all, KRGs are for life.
when you walk into a boardroom and there’s a box of tissues sitting in front of the one empty seat intended for you – know that intimidation is only that. you’re brilliant and they all know it.
Christopher will find out, and not how you intend for him to.
those cds you sell, you don’t get them back.
apple + s is more important than i’ll ever be able to stress.
Blake is the only person in the next ten years who’s going to ask permission.
your mother won’t always be to you what she is now.
neither will Jeff.
but 2012 doesn’t happen.
and you make it.
you do.
so does Bishop.
and he’s one of your very best friends.
someone who loves you utterly and entirely is going to find you, and you’re going to love her utterly and entirely too.
Noah and Lily and Ada and Durant and all those colour-titled short stories are only the beginning. it’s not weird when your heartguts tell you to write fiction instead of poetry on the board. i promise.
every step, every backbreaking step of the hardest year of your life will be worth it. Dusty is worth it.
and he doesn’t give a fuck (hint, hint).
he comes back.
and CL doesn’t hate you.
every single voice in your heart loves you, and trusts you.
you’re a little crazy, but you’re not going crazy.
it’s okay.
freedom of speech applies to everyone and everything – even bullshit.
your (our) heart will never, ever lead you astray. you can always trust it, with all things.
not everyone wants or needs to be treated how you want or need to be treated. simple consideration will go further than you can imagine.
music will always be there, and there’s a band that’s going to fill a place in your heart and save so many of your days and nights you’ll lose count.
you can call a cab from Chubby’s. they won’t mind.
Colorado, Austin, Omaha, St. Louis, Chicago, Memphis, Houston, New York – all awesome.
your cup is still what it is, but you’ll get to feel it overflow from time to time.
you’re not going to hell.
god is love.
you’re beautiful when you sing and you’re beautiful laughing and you are so, so beautiful in that dress.
fucking heartsmashing beautiful.
beautiful.
it’s okay to cry.
It’s okay to hide.
it’s okay to give up sometimes.
you’re not broken.
and i know i said i wouldn’t tell you what to do, but forget what she taught you.
(us)
our spirit
is unbreakable.
