“Real life doesn’t have many happy endings. Why shouldn’t books make up the difference?”— Scott Westerfeld, Afterworlds
(via books-n-quotes)
I never thought of it this way, wow.
RELIGION DOESN’T BELONG IN POLITICS
What happened to the separation of church and state? A lot of our laws are being passed or denied on CHRISTIAN values.
This is NOT a Christian nation.
THIS IS NOT A CHRISTIAN NATION.
Everyone has the right to practice their religion, whether you are Christian, Catholic, Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, or any other religion. Still, religion should never be involved in political decision. These decisions should be made for the good of the people. Period.
This country is supposed to be run for the people, by the people.
Banning abortions, investigating miscarriages, taking away insurance funding for birth control, and refusing to institute sex ed classes in schools is only going to fuck us up. It’s not going to get rid of abortions, is just going to get rid of SAFE abortions. It’s going to over crowd our prisons even more than they already are. It’s going to result in suicide rates rising. It’s going to raise the teen pregnancy rates, as well as the STD rates. Plus! They want to move ectopic pregnancies into the uterus… That has never been done or attempted to my knowledge. That is incredibly dangerous, and god forbid you miscarry. There will be no time to mourn before you are being investigated and possibly charged with a felony if they can’t guarentee it wasn’t on purpose.
Females of the USA, especially Ohio and Alabama, I’m so sorry for our shitty state governments. I’m sorry that you are having your rights to your own bodies infringed upon.
This is not right… This needs to change… This is not equality… This is disgusting…
College would cost half as much if you only had to take the core classes you actually needed for the job you want.
It would also cost less if we funded free college. But yeah, that too.
Young folks want to change things to leave their mark in the world… old people resist those changes because they want to keep the marks they already made.
One night - you
One night to cuddle you, skin to skin,
And wonder how the gods made you out of rose petals.
To hold you closer to me and ponder how you’ve become so perfect.
One night to stare into your eyes as I rub your shoulder with my thumb.
The beautiful hazel eyes speckled with green during your happiest moments.
Stealing the very breath from my lungs and disrupting the familiar beat of my heart.
Sealing my fate with one tender kiss when I speak the words that have been circling my mind.
This is pure happiness,
And when I lay next to you my troubles melt from my head and run down my body,
Like your fingers tracing my spine.
Just for a while, nothing else exists.
Just us and your soft scarred hands,
Running up and down my ribs, writing stories as they go.
I think to myself,
How will this end?
And then I realize it doesnt scare me anymore.
Your trembling fingers and your eyes,
Darting from my lips to iris,
And staring into my soul have reassured me of your intentions.
And now when the wind blows, it utters but one single syllable.
