Katniss describing Peeta:
“Medium height, stocky build, ashy blonde hair that falls in waves over his forehead.”
“For the first time, I look at him and realize that ablaze with the fake flames, he is dazzling.”
“He looks so clean and healthy and beautiful.”
“I like to watch his hands as he works, making a blank page bloom with strokes of ink…”
“I also become a little fixated on his eyelashes, which ordinarily you don’t notice because they’re so blonde. But up close, in the sunlight slanting in from the window, they’re a light golden color and so long I don’t see how they keep from getting all tangled up when he blinks.” (girl you’re obsessed)
“My eyes travel up to where the flames licked across his forehead, singeing away his brows but just missing his eyes. Those same blue eyes that used to meet mine and then flit away at school. Just as they do now.”
Katniss describing Gale:
“Gale does look striking in the uniform, I guess.”
The most attractive thing to me is effort. Someone who really wants to talk to me, wants to see me, wants to make me a part of their day.
girls don’t want boyfriends girls want taylor swift to run towards them during the bridge of august
the album is brutally honest, satirical, a bit cringe here and there, depressing and experimental at the same time, I would not side eye anyone for saying "I don't understand this" or "this isn't my cup of tea" or even "what the fuck is this" because it's obviously not a 1989 or midnights kind of album for everyone. I understand why she said she "had to put this out" but while she is at the peak of her career, she released an album that is not for beginners nor really for overall critics, it's knees deep into the taylor swift lore and probably the most herself an album has ever been, that does not mean it is a masterpiece but it makes it so insanely special
“Let’s face it - English is a crazy language. There is no egg in eggplant nor ham in hamburger; neither apple nor pine in pineapple. English muffins weren’t invented in England or French fries in France. Sweetmeats are candies while sweetbreads, which aren’t sweet, are meat. We take English for granted. But if we explore its paradoxes, we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square and a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig. And why is it that writers write but fingers don’t fing, grocers don’t groce and hammers don’t ham? If the plural of tooth is teeth, why isn’t the plural of booth beeth? One goose, 2 geese. So one moose, 2 meese? One index, 2 indices? Doesn’t it seem crazy that you can make amends but not one amend? If you have a bunch of odds and ends and get rid of all but one of them, what do you call it? If teachers taught, why didn’t preachers praught? If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat? In what language do people recite at a play and play at a recital? Ship by truck and send cargo by ship? Have noses that run and feet that smell? How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites? You have to marvel at the unique lunacy of a language in which your house can burn up as it burns down, in which you fill in a form by filling it out and in which an alarm goes off by going on. English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects the creativity of the human race (which, of course, isn’t a race at all). That is why, when the stars are out, they are visible, but when the lights are out, they are invisible.”

I'm like panicking rn because the guy I used to have a crush on could be in my classes and one of the teachers I have this year knew I had a crush on him so if he's in that class it could be really awkward
i respect people who want to keep their menstruation to themselves but i have to make it everyone's problem. Literally if it was socially acceptable to lead every conversation with "I'm menstruating" i would.
Girls don’t want to work, girls just want to exist for the sake of existing for a little while. Maybe in a field with a book.
I need everyone’s best character advice. STAT.
this is so dumb but there was that interview andrew garfield did with stephen colbert where he said grief is just all the unexpressed love we have left for someone who is gone and that no matter how much you tell someone you love them or show them, you will still have all of this love leftover when they're gone, and it's really helped me frame loss in a healthy way. like grief isn't a weakness. you will have it no matter what. it's proportional to the amount of love you had for someone and tried to show them every day and that's something you can take comfort in. or at least i do.
