5 books do not step into your grave without reading. (With explanation)
The picture of Dorian Gray. (It tells you that you’re probably not too good not to turn into an evil, reckless k*ller. Take care of who you befriend)
1984. (In life, those who are powerful win. The highest form of betrayal is not back stabbing but brain washing. Doublethink is real.)
Animal farm. (Someone will come and twist the truth in a way that you either just have to pretend it’s true or go mad.)
All my sons. (Maybe they’re not delusional, maybe they’re just trying to protect their loved ones.)
Little women. (Such a sad sad book even though that’s not obvious. Captures the painful transition from childhood to adulthood and watching everything you loved seep through your fingers like grains of sand. Everything changes, you don’t always have to be mature about it.)

No one really knows how the parties get to "Yes"
The pieces that are sacrificed in every game of chess
We just assume that it happens
But no else is in the room where it happens

Priorities! The only thing which tells you about your place in someone's life.
Being prioritized feels so wonderful. Like you're that someone whom the person truly cares and looks out for. Yet it can be a pain in the ass when the person you prioritize doesn't have you as their priority. It is something which makes you really happy or hurt af. There's no fucking in between!
