“I wasn’t meant to be good.”
– - Lily, The House of Mirth
Reading this book at sixteen was bothersome, annoying, captivating, heartbreaking. Reading it now, with my twenties quickly dissolving into a series of missed chances and regrets, is probably not wise.

To be my companion, you’re one of a kind.
The dozens before you, I’m sure they won’t mind.

The only sadnesses that are dangerous and unhealthy are the ones that we carry around in public in order to drown them out with the noise; like diseases that are treated superficially and foolishly, they just withdraw and after a short interval break out again all the more terribly; and gather inside us and are life, are life that is unlived, rejected, lost, life that we can die of. If only it...
imissssyourface asked: So I posted a set with a plus size dress in it tonight, it won't let me post the link though. I decided for non contest sets I'm going to make a lot more for plus size girls. It's not really fair that we don't get to see all the cute clothes =)

This is what they mean by “the more specific, the more universal.” I love this because it feels like someone is giving voice to my emotions about my own home.

Hi,
This is regarding the fall that happened
when we were in the air and you wondered in my ear,
If the world ends today
whisks us away
And we run floating and disappear,
While the flames surround
char and blackness swirl toward the edge, my love,
Will we float with my heavy heart?
Will it like a sponge surround the water and soak it in
Will it like steel withstand the flames
And...

Remember the time I felt personally insulted because Chanel didn’t formulate their foundation to suit my skin? (or, didn’t even acknowledge that the rest of the world is not just one shade of white)? Well, it looks like Laura Mercier is here to save the day! I just got the mineral powder foundation, and so far (meaning, judging by how well it performed last night in my room) I am...
