book meme / the inexplicable logic of my life, benjamin alire sáenz
content warning for blood and violence.
i like holding your hand.
hey, it’s okay. it’s just me.
well, you have to eat more.
it’s good to hear your voice.
and we’re a family, aren’t we?
crying is good.
for the fever.
but there are certain things you can’t keep from the adults around you. adults who care about you.
it’s weird, the honest things you say when you’re sick.
how’d you sleep?
well, i’m worried about me too.
look at you. you’re still shaking.
you ever think about your mom?
sometimes i was full of halfhearted yeahs.
i’m sorry i’m such a pain in the ass.
i’ll always be with you.
maybe you think you need to be perfect. if you think of that word, don’t listen to it.
yeah, try and get some sleep.
it’s all that crying.
just a bloody lip.
i guess you could say i was feeling sorry for myself.
you won’t always be sad.
i had bad dreams, but at least i slept.
i’ve been getting into a lot of fights lately.
why are you taking care of me?
i don’t want you to be sad either.
but we have to find a way to discipline our hearts so that their cruelty doesn’t turn us into hurt animals.
you really think a punch to the nose changed a damn thing?
i’ve heard worse.
you stay up all night talking?
but you just have to learn to walk away from people who growl. they might bite you. they might hurt you.
dad always said that there was nothing with crying and if people did more of it, well then, the world would be a better place.
people get angry when they’re afraid.
that word doesn’t carry any truth.
the world has changed.
maybe those things should keep themselves hidden.

rmr how ppl jumped thru hoops to try and dispel the fact that picture of a/she and jesse was like a real picture instead of two pictures taped together ... first of all how does it make sense for it to be two pictures rather than a/she tearing up the original in her pain and feeling of betrayal

Y’all ever have a week that’s like, a yee without a haw. A ya without a hoo. A hoot without a holler. A proverbial snake in ones metaphorical weathered ranglin’ boot.
