That’s how you navigate an awkward conversation. Just acknowledge the elephant in the room, sidestep, and segue into smoother conversational waters. Sorry your mom drove her car into a jewelry store while she was high on opioids and had to go to rehab for four months. Apparently if you’re going to bring someone in, you have to take someone out first. The sun wakes me up, burning through blinds that clearly weren’t purchased for their room-darkening properties. I couldn’t bring myself to look at his face at first, but once I did I couldn’t look away. When you come into the world with another person, they’re as much a part of you as your heartbeat. Years of reading true-crime books and watching Dateline has taught me anything, it’s this: it’s always the boyfriend I became Declan Kelly’s brother before I got a chance to be anything else, and sometimes it feels like that’s all I’ll ever be. After spending our lives in the orbit of a city where everyone’s fighting for recognition, it...
According to science, you start off as coal and you end up as coal This isn’t a non-profit organisation. Though I have to say it is rapidly becoming one. She realised that’s what she was. A black hole. A dying star, collapsing in on itself The silence was louder than noise. The good stuff makes it worthwhile Why are you just standing in the middle of the room? Are you getting ready for bed or are you doing some kind of standing meditation? Fish get depressed when they have a lack of stimulation. A lack of everything. When they are just there, floating in a tank that resembles nothing at all. Maybe in some lives you just float around and expect nothing else and don’t even try to change. Maybe that was most lives. Most gossip is envy in disguise It can drive you insane, thinking of all the other lives we don’t live Places are places and memories are memories and life is fucking life. ‘I never found the companion that was so companionable as solitude.’ He believed that the more peo...
It sucks when the person who ruined your life gets to walk around like always. After spending last summer angsting over whether a three-thousand-mile long-distance relationship could work, my sister and her boyfriend have settled into a pattern of being inseparable, arguing, breaking up, and getting back together that, oddly, seems to work for both of them. If you’re searching for signs of intelligent life in the Bayview High junior class, Sean Murdock isn’t where you’ll find it Everything. It’s too small a word to cover what happened That was the thing about Simon Kelleher: he knew secrets most people couldn’t even have guessed just the three of us locked into our side conversation; I don’t think last “Sometimes you don’t know what you want until you see it, That’s something I’ll never get used to about apartment living—how being on a single floor makes you acutely aware of where everyone is, all the time. I have four of them, all older than me, all with K names: Kiersten, Kati...
Here are the 22 best quotes I found in the book One of Us is Lying. It's a good book. I read it 3 months ago. The book is about four people who are suspects in the death of a fellow student. But you are here for the Quotes not the story so I won't bore you with the story(I will give a gist at the end though, basically I complain about the characters). The quotes are not just good and mind-blowing, amazing things(more words like that) the people said in the book, there are also lines which I found funny and amusing. You should know that finding lines that have enough context to qualify as funny is hard. So sometimes I have to turn the lines into paragraphs like I had to do in Turtles All The Way Down . But trust me that one was so worth it cause I love that book. So here they are - Justin is twelve years younger than my mother, which makes him five years younger than her second husband, and fifteen years younger than my dad. At the rate she’s going, she’ll date Jake next. Bec...
THE SUN Be like the sun, All nice and bright, Hot and red, Filled with light! I think this is the smallest poem I've ever written. And I don't even like the sun that much. I think the moon is better. I have written a poem about the moon which I will post when I get time. So you'll probably have to wait for a while. But trust me, it's worth the wait. Also, today marks the 6monthiversary (if that's a word) of my blog so Happy six months. If you read my blog then I have to say My God bless you. May you live a happy life and achieve all your goals. May you get a dog on your next birthday (or whatever you want) Thank you for being a reader. Thats all for now. Ciao ;)
We fight because of conflict of interest or when things don't turn out the way we want them too. People near us can hurt us just by words and we can hurt them too. It is something to give a thought to. "Words can hurt a lot more than swords can" This is true. Physical fights leave wounds but those wounds heal. They cause little pain, but only for a few days. A wound might leave a scar which reminds you of that fight but words can hurt so much, in so many different ways. A verbal fight can hurt a lot more. It's mental pain what I'm talking about. You just think about the same thing again and again. It's almost like you cannot believe that a person so close to you can say something like that. Something they know will hurt you but still they say it. "Tongue is mightier than the sword" - Edward Bulwer-Lytton What we can do from our part is that we assume that they said in heat of the moment. Maybe they too regret saying that. I'm not telli...
Microsoft Edge has this assistant box in the corner and if you click on it you find James. Now, you are here to know why James is stupid? (So I asked the name again and got a new name. I don't know what the chatbot thing is called. These Edge people have given me three names. One was James, one was Cortana and the other I don't remember ) So it's a short story but my fondness for details might make it long. So bear with me. I got a new laptop in June from my parents. I want to say thank you to my dear parents for it. I mostly use it for online classes. And as you know Microsoft Edge keeps on begging that Please! Please! for the love of God. MAKE US YOUR DEFAULT BROWSER. But everyone sticks to Chrome. Cause we only know chrome and I think it's better. But I'm no tech person so don't take advice from me. Use whatever browser you want. Back to the story. So a popup about some quiz on Edge came in my search. So I thought why not. It was about planets. I like space ...
I was beginning to learn that your life is a story told about you, not one that you tell. You think you’re the painter, but you’re the canvas . I thought about how we all believed ourselves to be the hero of some personal epic, when in fact we were basically identical organisms colonizing a vast and windowless room. Was thinking that if half the cells inside of you are not you, doesn’t that challenge the whole notion of me as a singular pronoun, let alone as the author of my fate? We were looking at the same sky together, which is maybe more intimate than eye contact anyway. Anybody can look at you. It’s quite rare to find someone who sees the same world you see. Maybe you’ve been in love. I mean real love, the kind my grandmother used to describe by quoting the apostle Paul’s First Letter to the Corinthians, the love that is kind and patient, that does not envy or boast, that beareth all things and believeth all things and endureth all things. I don’t like to throw the L-word a...
One Indian Girl This book was just something I did not expect it to be. I thought it was about a girl getting married, but it was much more than just that and it was a fun book to read. Kind of eww for me but still ok. Paper Towns Was not as great as I expected it to be. Since I really love John Green's writing I had some pretty high expectations but it was just not that good. Quentin was stupid. Very very stupid and I mean I like books that have a chance of being real and I mean I really don't think someone would just be like OH let's go find someone who I'm pretty sure we won't be able to find. And in the end, it was not worth it cause they didn't end up together which they should have and Margo just acted like a bitch, to be honest. Fsog Just highly overrated. Trust me it's too overrated. And just eww again. Anastasia is stupid. That's all I'm going to say. And that other guy is a freak. To All the Boys I've loved before I don't know why s...
