Books and pens
Humanity's greatest gift to the world were books and pens
I want to partake and contribute to it as much as I can
My dedication to my craft goes beyond crumpled manuscripts and scanning hundreds of pages
It's a passion that keeps me up at night and glued to my screen to watch a tale unfold before me
Even when I rest, I get a sudden surge of inspiration
It makes me jump out of bed and frantically search for a pen, fearing that the thoughts will leave my head
If others express love with words, I show love with a pen
I love people too much to let them go, so I immortalized them in the pages of books
It can seem tiring to some people, flipping pages, and not being able to understand a single word
Or the countless times I've spent hours pulling together a single page
And yet, if I had more time in the world
I would spend it the exact same way

-Organ Donor-
If I could have, I would have given you my lungs
So that you could laugh uncontrollably
At the tiny, transient moments in your existence 
That brought you pure exultation 
If I could have, I would have given you my brain 
So that you could think happy, happy thoughts
And contemplate the wonders 
That you are interminably grateful for
If I could have, I would have given you my heart
So that you could love boundlessly, infinitely 
And not merely those closest to you
But also, yourself, for you deserved self-love 
If I could have, I would have given you my stomach
So that you could feast incessantly
On your most favourite delectable sweets
And find joy and contentment 
In all of your delicious comfort foods
Like marshmallows heated by your fireplace
And cups of cocoa on a crisp autumn evening
If I could have, I would have given you my life 
For yours was stolen far too soon 
And now you are breathless, six feet under 
With once healthy organs 
That will never work again.

Nobody understands the bond between a girl and the mediocre book she read when she was 13 years old.

I am jealous of those who think more deeply, who write better, who draw better, who look better, who live better, who love better than I.

Laying in bed, in just underwear and a comfy, too big shirt, listening to music and observing my leeches in a small jar, will always be my fav hobby

Tag with the exact number if you know it
Tag with an estimate if you don’t know it
If you have more than 200, how MANY more than 200? 👀
