| Whatever happened to chivalry? Does it only exist in 80's movies? I want John Cusack holding a boombox outside my window. I wanna ride off on a lawnmower with Patrick Dempsey.

Suddenly you’re nineteen years old and staring down the double barrel of a shotgun loaded with expectations. You can get your tongue around the word ‘résumé’ but it tastes bitter: you cut your teeth on words you found in SAT prep books, they slice your gums open at night, while you’re still awake, staring at glow-in-the-dark stars you pasted in a messy galaxy on your ceiling, age seven; now you wish on them. You wish that you won’t wake up terrified in the morning, and you wish that you could stop wishing to not wake up. Your childhood bedroom feels like an animal enclosure, claustrophobically small and too familiar to leave, but full of time that’s been wasted, stacked neatly on the shelves.

mar 15 2013 + You don't care about getting hurt. But you know how I'll feel? I'll be devastated. And if you die, I will literally go out of my freakin' mind. You see, death doesn't happen to you, Lydia. It happens to everyone around you, okay?
