#obsession

i discovered that my obsession for having each thing in the right place, each subject at the right time, each word in the right style, was not the well-deserved reward of an ordered mind, but just the opposite: a complete system of pretense invented by me to hide the disorder of my nature. ↗

It’s not like love at first sight, really. It’s more like… gravity moves. When you see her, suddenly it’s not the earth holding you here anymore. She does. And nothing matters more than her. And you would do anything for her, be anything for her… You become whatever she needs you to be, whether that’s a protector, or a lover, or a friend, or a brother. ↗

— Stephenie Meyer

I must get my soul back from you; I am killing my flesh without it. ↗

This connection we have isn't going away, it's only getting stronger. Because the more I spend time with her, the closer I want to be. ↗
