I don’t want you to think I take you for granted.
I don’t want you to assume that, because I’m quiet and pathetic when it comes to words of adoration, that I don’t feel the same way that you do.
I don’t want you to think that you have to coddle and coerce me into caring for you.
Please don’t thin those things.
Rowan. Never think that. Ever.
I’ve...
How so?
You met me at a very strange time in my life
I am very sick, very tired, and very in love with you. I’m oddly grateful to be all three. I am unsure why… proof of living, perhaps?
I don’t know. But I’m now going to put my day of hard work behind me, contentedly curl up into bed, listen to The Fountainhead, and devote even more time to the thought of you.
Alice in Neverland
Peter Pan had whisked Alice away, flew her to his strange land where time did not exist. He noticed how Alice transformed Neverland, making it brighter and more beautiful with every step.
“Everything is impossibly bright and colorful here!” she stated wistfully. Peter smirked in reply, his trademark. He loved her, more than he knew, more than he wanted, more than he’d ever...
“One kind kiss before we part,
Drop a tear, and bid adieu;

It seems that I’ve become some delicate hot-house flower. People think I need to be coddled and complimented and propped up. The way you might tie an orchid to a branch so that it doesn’t topple a vase. Is it because I’ve gotten quieter? Because I disappear into empty rooms with books and paper and pens that bleed ink? Staring out windows and reading the lines in brick walls.

I love you
“Everybody’s so inviting, they’ve got it in for me I know.”
“Closer.”
– Nervous?
“YOU ARE UNLIKE ANY GIRL I’VE EVER MET.”
– An irresistible blend of everything I could ever love or want, that’s what you are.
Words That Do Not Exist In Our World
L’esprit de escalier: (French) The feeling you get after leaving a conversation, when you think of all the things you should have said. Translated it means “the spirit of the staircase.”
Waldeinsamkeit: (German) The feeling of being alone in the woods.
Meraki: (Greek) Doing something with soul, creativity, or love.
Forelsket: (Norwegian) The euphoria you experience when you are first falling...
I’m not the sort of person who is rendered “speechless” very easily. In fact, I cannot remember a time when I didn’t have words already at my fingertips.
Even so, I never know what to say to you. About you. I cannot describe you, I cannot explain you, I cannot begin to articulate just how much you mean to me. How you make me feel. How you look through my eyes.
I just...
