Being brave doesn’t mean you aren’t scared. Being brave means you are scared, really scared, badly scared, and you do the right thing anyway.

Watch me take a book out with me but not to read it. only to have it as some form of comfort, a personal gravity, something that keeps me grounded like some little child with their favorite blanket

He asked me when I fell in love with him and I knew it sounded dramatic to say the moment I saw him, so I told him this story of my grandma who had Alzheimer's- she forgot her name and the words for fruit and food, she forgot her address and how to use the washroom, all her life lost to the disease. The only thing she remembered was her son's name and when that began to fade, the one thing she always remembered was that she loved him, even in illness, even in insanity. She saw this 6 foot 2 man with a scrubby beard and she didn't know him but she said she trusted him, she asked him to hold her hand when she died. When does memory end and love begin? All I know is- she loved him before she remembered him.

chaotic academia as i see it:

•unironed loose and tucked in white button up shirts

•messy annonations all over your favourite classics with pretentious commentary

•handwritten assignments turned in with coffee cup stains near the edges and smudged pen ink

•shoelaces tied incomprehensibly to make sure you dont trip on your way to class

•textbooks with ripped or slightly torn edges from when you were too exhausted to put them away mannerly

•staying up till four am hyperfixating over your recent obsession and not even realising it

•constantly blanking out in class even though you swear you love the topic being discussed

Slytherin: The sport I’d add to the olympics is Stealing. There is no event or ceremony. Whoever is able to locate and steal the medals technically earns them.

Ravenclaw: This just feels right; it makes intuitive sense.

I’ll tell the stars about you - B.K.

I'll Tell The Stars About You.

I promise, my love, that when I go home, I will tell the stars about you. They will tremble when they hear of how bright you shine. They will quake when they are told of how beautiful you are. They will be terrified when they hear of how your love heats my heart on cold nights. And most of all, they will be jealous when they hear that I love you more than the whole galaxy. - B.K.
