I don’t want to be a sweetheart. I want to be the fucking love of your life.

I should be sleeping. But I’m thinking of you. I’m always thinking about you.

Igor Henrique, I think about you all the time.

My mother taught me that the longer you keep that howl trapped inside your body, the more wolf you become, but she never showed me how to let the howl out. Womanhood is also this: a violence louder on the inside than it is on the outside. Smiling when truly all you are doing is baring your teeth.

Why each member of Huntr/x is a nightmare to take care of when sick

Rumi: if she’s not doing something she’ll go stir-crazy with guilt. Must be productive! She hasn’t EARNED time off! Prescription: purrito.

Zoey: increased anxiety means she thinks everyone hates her. Cries all the time. Won’t tell anyone what’s wrong because she doesn’t want to be a burden. Prescription: hand-fed with soup.

Mira: there’s nothing wrong with me what are you talking about, I’m fine (spoken through a river of snot)! Prescription: sat on by sleeping Rumi.
