“Date a girl who reads. Date a girl who spends her money on books instead of clothes. She has problems with closet space because she has too many books. Date a girl who has a list of books she wants to read, who has had a library card since she was twelve. Find a girl who reads. You’ll know that she does because she will always have an unread book in her bag.She’s the one lovingly looking over the...
People like us, half of them think things will never work out. The other half believe in magic.
It seems every time we interact, I find myself looking for some bit of information I’ve missed. Something that warns me, subsides me, or something that gives me a reason to fight. All of which I am equally scared of. So here I am, over-analyzing all these new details…
