order needs feels
Why do we feel the need to disconnect in order to connect?
needs courses
this is what i never allowed myself to need. and of course what i've been needing all along.
lying long needs
As long as we can conjure, who needs anything else? As long as we can agree on the magical lie and be happy, what more is there to ask for? “I loved you from that moment on,” I say. “I loved you from that moment on,” you agree.
aunt order needs
Why is it so much easier to talk to a stranger? why do we feel we need to disconnect in order to connect? If I wrote "Dear Sofia" or "Dear Boomer" or "Dear Lily's Great-Aunt" at the top of this postcard, wouldn't that change the words that followed? Of course it would. But the question is: When I wrote "Dear Lily," was that just a version of "Dear Myself"? I know it was more than that. But it was also less than that, too
needs
Yes, time can be buoyed by wordlessness, but it needs to be anchored in words.
needs way fixed
Things rarely get fixed the way they need to be.
love-you needs helping
and when he catches me off guard and says 'i love you' i catch him off guard and say 'i need your help.
needs bases
need is never a good basis for any relationship. it has to be much more than that.
needs should
When you need to hold onto something, you should. Whatever gets you through, take it.
needs helping cry
But the thing about a cry for help is that someone else needs to be around to hear it.
voice silent
That's what the voices in your head are for, to get you through the silent parts.
author perfect
There's no such thing as a perfect person, so it makes no sense to write a perfect person. I don't know any author who'd try. And we write characters, not representations of groups.
finishing love novels people vampire wanting
People read vampire novels and say, 'Oh I want to read another vampire novel.' People read fantasy, and they're like, 'Oh I love fantasy.' I don't know that people are necessarily finishing 'Hunger Games' and immediately wanting to read another dystopian tale.
decision get-better belief
There are many things that can keep you in a relationship," I say. "Fear of being alone. Fear of disrupting the arrangement of your life. A decision to settle for something that's okay, because you don't know if you can get any better. Or maybe there's the irrational belief that it will get better, even if you know he won't change.
