abstraction, n.


Love is one kind of abstraction. And then there are those
nights when I sleep alone, when I curl into a pillow that isn’t
you, when I hear the tiptoe sounds that aren’t yours. It’s not
as if I can conjure you there completely. I must embrace the
idea of you instead.

Ein Buchstabe pro Abend, sonst ist das zu viel Input :D

This one is tearing me apart!

Waaaah i love it so much

Back to doing homework now ):

Sorry, I forgot to update that I've been progressing on this slowly. It's funner to take it in in increments as opposed to devouring the whole thing in one sitting, if you were wondering.

Autonomy, n. "I want my books to have their own shelves", you said, and that's how I knew it would be okay to live together.

did david levithan just wasted a lot of pages??? meh i swear just three words in one page then the story in another page eventhough it's just 4 sentences. I'm loving the story. I love word play and the pov is so fluffy because it is on the boy's pov I love his genuine words and gentleness.

so interesting! and awesome! and i'm loving this book right now.

Sometimes I love it when we just lie on out backs, gaze off, stay still..

I still sleep better when I'm alone. But now I allow that sleep isn't always the most important thing. (agh...so. Just agh perfect ok )

Even when I detach, I care. You can be separate from a thing and still care about it. If I wanted to detach completely, I would move my body away. I would stop the conversation midsentence. I would leave the bed. Instead, I hover over it for a second. I glance off in another direction. But I always glance back at you.

You daunted me & I you. Or would it be that I was daunted by you and you by me? It daunted me that you were so beautiful, that you were so at ease in social situations, as if every room was heliotropic, with you at the center. And I guess it daunted you that I had so many more friends than you, that I could put my words together like this, on paper, and could sometimes conjure a certain sense out of things.
