Status Updates From Future Leaders of Nowhere

“So this is what it is like to have a someone.”


brb gotta sob a little

what a wholesome conversation, I like Eva

oh wow my girl Willa is SMITTEN smitten

“She wonders what it’s like to have someone who likes you more than they like the rest of the world. Who’d choose you first. Who’d get impatient wanting to be near you when they couldn’t be. Someone you could call or message at any time of the day and night, and they’d always be happy that you did. It must be a good feeling.”


it really must be.

“Willa’s always wondered what it’s like to have a someone.”

wow this is hitting too close to home

huh, what an interesting twist of events

“I’ll always rescue you.” She says it so simply that it makes Finn draw in a breath. Willa squeezes Finn’s fingers and releases them. “Not that you’ll ever need it much.”

so soft

“Your dad’s looking for you.”

Finn just stares at her for a second. “My dad?”

“Says he is. I mean, he could be an imposter serial killer, but if he is, he’s done a killer match on the eye and hair colour and you should at least meet him to congratulate him.”


i am sorry but why is that the funniest thing i’ve ever read

“She plucks the sketchbook out of Willa’s fingers with a grin. “You can’t have this one. It’s mine.”

ohhh, my heart

“Other mornings they just coexist in the sunshine”

the best kind of meetings

“She can imagine them at school after camp, greeting each other like long lost war buddies in the halls.”

i am kind of emotional

“This girl is like a human plot twist, sometimes.”

“Worse things have happened to better people, haven’t they?”

keeps you going

“Finn picks it up and passes it to her. Even if it means one less piece for her homework folio. “Of course.”

love that
