"Greasy food might not be good for your body, but it does wonders for the soul. A healthy diet may prolong your life, but what would you have to live for? What is the point of living to a hundred if you have to subsist on bland food? One may as well die of boredom."

Jessica Zafra (Chicken Pox for the Soul)

"So from now on, screw ‘perfect’. Forget for a while about what kind of person you want to be, and just be the best version of the person you are. Figure out which of your classmates you genuinely like (not who you want to like you), and get to know them by telling your own stories and listening to theirs. Hang out with the people you think are cool, not the people you’d like to be considered cool by. Do things because they interest you, not because they make you look interesting… and then, take stock in a month and see whether you’re not happier, healthier, and working on some actual friendships with other imperfect-but-lovely humans."

Kat Rosenfield (via whispering-literature)

“Literature adds to reality, it does not simply describe it. It enriches the necessary competencies that daily life requires and provides; and in this respect, it irrigates the deserts that our lives have already become.”

-C.S. Lewis

Day 02 – A book that you’ve read more than 3 times

Don’t judge me.

I first read this book back in the 5th grade in my English portion of school. When I was in the 7th grade I stumbled upon it at the bookstore, remembered I had liked the book but couldn’t recall anything from the story.

So I bought it. 

And read it.

Read the rest of the series.

Then read it again.
