ignorance:

“That’s the thing about girls. Every time they do something pretty, even if they’re not much to look at, or even if they’re sort of stupid, you fall in love with them, and then you never know where the hell you are. Girls. Jesus Christ. They can drive you crazy. They really can.”

— J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye (via coral)

heavyweightheart:

my friend said that whenever she has a bad feeling about her body/appearance, she asks herself “who profits off of this emotion?” and i really love how simple and incisive that is

(via king-jsmoove)

lifeinpoetry:

I starve a season
while the world wilts

into the ghost
of a summer backyard.
My hunger open and raw.

— Cathy Linh Che, from “Pomegranate,” published in The Poetics of Haunting in Asian American Poetry
