There’s something between us - a sort of pull. Something you always do to me and I to you.
-F. Scott Fitzgerald
“My stupid, shriveled little heart felt like it was reaching for everything he was… and that I was not.”
When You Came Back To Me by Emma Scott
Our chests heaved as we collapsed under the polar moon after our run, the cabin only feet away, the books we’d stolen at my side. For a while, we stared up at the stars inside the deep Norse Woods, the place where all the wild things were. I turned my head to Fallon, watching her chest rise and fall, her stomach dip, her lashes flutter, her mouth part.
“Do you think they know we’re looking at them?” she asked, keeping her gaze in the sky. “You know, the stars?”
My gaze flicked up at the same sky, then back down to her. Her mind held a universe of questions, most of which she already had the answers to.
“I think the stars are probably asking themselves the same question,” I told her, tapping my fingers along her wrist, feeling her pulse kick.
“What do you mean?”
“You believe you’re gazing at the stars, when, in all reality, the entire galaxy is gazing at you.” I squeezed her hand, unsure of why I couldn’t just say I loved her. Why I couldn’t tell her something so real and true. I’d never been good at anything, but I’d always been good with her in my own, strange way.

“So the saying is true? Money doesn’t buy happiness?”
“...You can fill your life with nice things, but nice things don’t fill the holes in your soul.”
“What fills the holes in a soul?”
Samson’s eyes scroll over my face for a few seconds. “Pieces of someone else’s soul.”
Heart Bones by Colleen Hoover
"I knew going out of the house was a bad idea. I don't even know why people go out and walk on streets and talk to other people when being alone is just so damn wonderful. When you're alone, no one's staring at you. No one's pointing fingers at you. No one's snickering or stopping you on the street and asking you questions."
Dreams of 18 by Saffron A. Kent
“Would I have still turned out to be the same untrusting, skeptical human I’ve become had I experienced more good times than bad?
Maybe so. Or maybe not. Sometimes I believe personalities are shaped more by damage than kindness.
Kindness doesn’t sink as deep into your skin as the damage does. The damage stains your soul so bad, you can’t scrub it off. It stays there forever, and I feel like people can see all my damage just by looking at me.”
Heart Bones by Colleen Hoover
“She is kind of plain. Until she opens her mouth.
Then it’s one long stream of colorful bitch.”
