“Think of someone you want to touch whom you cannot touch, someone forbidden. Think of a room where there is nothing except the two of you: still, you cannot touch them. Think of the heat between two hands about to touch, the language that exists in that silence.”
— Chelsea Hodson, from Tonight I’m Someone Else: Essays; “A Simple Woman,”

conservatives are always saying “the liberals are getting out of hand these days! why can’t we go back to the time when everyone was normal?!” as if over two centuries ago circa. 1820 percy shelley wasn’t an outspoken polyamorous vegan anti-fascist chronically ill atheist spiritualist poet with weird hair and funky blouses and 10 mental illnesses buried in financial debt who lived in unofficial exile with his goth bisexual feminist wife who pioneered science fiction who ran around with him threatening old people by saying they wanted to decapitate the king

“Were I an atheist – a man devoid of conscience – a wretch with coarse and brutal instincts – I might have found peace, long ere now. Nay, I never should have lost it!”
I still hate how this looks but I’m NOT working on it any longer I hate this book it’s not worth it (drew a whole piece of elaborate fanart for it)

‘Her tender touch was all but a dream;
Unfurl sweet rosebud, holding morning dew,
By night the rose is gilded by frost’s gleam
What dawn proposes, dusk demeans’

i feel like if there was a word to describe how much i love you, my love would be less meaningful, for nothing can replace the need to prove how much i love you with actions because words aren’t enough.
- to the you i loved then, now, and tomorrow
