Does anyone else have recurring places in their dreams? Not recurring dreams themselves, but like actual places you revisit? I've been having dreams in what I've called The Other Place for almost 20 years & I've never met anyone else who has this issue.

[romance quotes i'd die for @favromancequote]

“I’m yours. All of me. I think I always belonged to you. Even when you belonged to someone else.”

[兔兒神 @chenchenwrites]

i do not want to be merely tolerated or accepted. what miserably low standards. i want to be celebrated. i wanted to be asked serious questions. i want to be asked about my dreams and desires, my sorrows and my favorite trees. i want to be wanted. actively. abundantly. today.

“If we’re both single by a certain age we will marry each other” is always a fun story concept but it could be even better if the pact is made between rivals as a drunken dare and they go on to sabotage each other’s relationships because they’ve been secretly in love all along

when Anne Shirley said “I’m so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers. It would be terrible if we just skipped from September to November, wouldn’t it?” she had it exactly right.

I wake up every morning feeling like an old lady and yet I still haven’t managed to accidentally become housekeeper to a vain wizard and his magical fire demon
