Okay but when Nina Zenik said "She wouldn’t wish love on anyone. It was the guest you welcomed and then couldn’t be rid of." and when Eros said "Thanatos and I. We are not so different. Except Death is sometimes kinder.” and when Jace Herondale said " To love is to destroy, and that to be loved is to be the one destroyed." and when Jason Grace said "Love was the most savage monster of all." and when Taylor Swift said "And I scream for whatever it's worth, 'I love you' ain't that the worst thing you ever heard?" and how the Song of Songs says “Set me as a seal upon thine heart, as a seal upon thine arm: for love is strong as death.”

“Suffering is cheap as clay and twice as common. What matters is what each man makes of it.” 

― Leigh Bardugo, Ruin and Rising

I love it when characters say "Please don't punch me for this" or "Live long enough to hate me for this" before kissing their love interest IT'S THE SUPERIOR ENEMIES TO LOVERS TROPE

“Did your wish come true?” // “I am not entirely certain yet.” // “You shall have to let me know,” Celia says. “I hope it does. I suppose in a way, I made the Wishing Tree for you.”

“I made a wish on this tree years ago,” Marco says // “What did you wish for?” Bailey asks, hoping it is not too forward a question // “I wished for her,” he says.

WILL I EVER RECOVER FROM THIS *SCREAMS*

A year ago, taylor swift wrote an album for the hopeless romantics, the lonely yearners, touch starved kids, the people who peaked in high school, single parents who gave all that they had, the ones who never got over their first love, those who live in a fantasy, grief stricken young people, the entire lgbtq+ community, mentally ill and misunderstood kids, fierce women who's souls are tired of being second to men, broken hearted divorcées, glamorous and beautiful ingénues who don't quite belong, sexy murderers, bisexual former gifted kids, teens who are terrified of getting older, people with unrequited crushes, cynical bitches who fell in love and for the dreamers, for us.

Everyone has that one piece of writing that completely changes their view of the world and enlightens them. For me, it's when Margaret Atwood wrote-

"Male fantasies, male fantasies, is everything run by male fantasies? Up on a pedestal or down on your knees, it’s all a male fantasy: that you’re strong enough to take what they dish out, or else too weak to do anything about it. Even pretending you aren’t catering to male fantasies is a male fantasy: pretending you’re unseen, pretending you have a life of your own, that you can wash your feet and comb your hair unconscious of the ever-present watcher peering through the keyhole, peering through the keyhole in your own head, if nowhere else. You are a woman with a man inside watching a woman. You are your own voyeur."
