I can't stop thinking about when Susan Sontag said "I don't feel guilt at being unsociable, though I may sometimes regret it because my loneliness is painful. But when I move into the world, it feels like a moral fall - like seeking love in a whorehouse."

Someone said that the reason we like the enemies to lovers trope is that we love the idea of someone seeing the worse parts of us and falling in love with us regardless of them<33

People panic when they can't find a familiar face in a crowd, I panic when I find one

I have a terrible habit of leaving things unsaid for the sake of peace

I am, as the poets say, a disaster.

I like simple things, books, being alone, or with someone who understands me

falling in love in a (i will read your favourite books and poems and watch the movies which you never stop talking about and listen to the songs close to your heart and will write you a love letter with references from all of it) way
