Anonymous and profound thought
stumbled upon this and wanted to share it.
Women like me do not fall gracefully,
we stumble over our spines, trip over
our vowels, and collapse into your arms.
[…]
Women like me will love you from a distance
of a thousand syllables while laying in your bed,
we will destroy you in the most beautiful way possible,
and when we leave you will finally understand
why storms are named after people.-Kayla Renee
For women who will love to death. And who will suffer with the thought of killing him.

I’m not the one to teach you how to be what you are now. I don’t have those answers.” Firtha indicated the lines of her body. “I wore my skin, when it was mine, as everyone else does. Now you have two skins to care for, yours and mine, and each of them will ask different things of you, and neither of them will make you human. I need you to promise that you won’t set my skin aside again.” “I—” “Promise. On my grave, on the pearls that were my eyes, swear to me that you’ll keep it close until my mother tells you it’s safe to set it aside.” “All right.” I put my hands up to ward her off. “I won’t take it off again. But somebody who can explain the things you say you can’tcome along sooner rather than later, because I don’t like everything being vague and weird and stupid.”Seanan Mcguire Night and Silence
Ok, so I messed up…
Any Kate Daniels fans out there? If so Iron and Magic, which I thought might be interesting just rocketed to one of my top priorities. Food, Air, Sleep and Iron and Magic. Adjustments have been made and priorities are straight, thank goodness for great books!
[Top]Have you read Seanan Mcguire yet?
I think you would love her. The writing is excellent, filled with snark and sarcasm. She also write horror under another name but…

“Believe me, I want to be here even less than you do. Now, are we going to fight like civilized people, or am I going to stand here and taunt you?”
–Jane Harrington-Price
I even missed the ones I don’t like very much, like Verity. My family shares my context. They know my education, my experiences, where the bone-deep bruises on my psyche are. We have secrets from each other—God, do we have secrets from each other—but even those secrets are built upon a shared foundation of loss and loneliness and duty. Those things aren’t unique to our weird little community. People have been forging alliances and pledging fealty based on those things since there have been people in the world. But the specific recipe that we follow, the blend, that’s all us. That’s unique. “. Seanan Mcguire “Tricks for Free”
Serpentine Quotes
“… you had to own your feelings, all of them. You didn’t have to act on them, but you had to acknowledge them. Buried feelings always found a way to uncover themselves. You could do it voluntarily and have some control over it, or you could stuff them down into the darkest part of your psyche and give your inner demons new ammunition to use against you. I was really trying not to do that anymore.”
Laurell K Hamilton, Serpentine
“We were badly outnumbered if this spread, and the only way for me to help lower the numbers was to risk hurting people badly. I was too small and too female not to fight to put people down as quickly and violently as possible. Sometimes you could scare people with what you were willing to do, and the fight would end just because the price wasn’t worth it to them. Police didn’t scare that easily.”

books saved me once, too. They showed me better ways to live, to think, to feel, to be, and helped entertain me in the darkest of times Laurell K Hamilton
