Lily stood up then and crossed the floor to sink down beside James. She rested her head on his shoulder, and he leaned his atop of hers. “I’m glad it’s you. I mean, if it had to be anyone, I’d pick you I think.”

 “Really?” James asked incredulously. “ I was under the impression that you found me, and I quote, ‘poncy, pigheaded and delusional’.”

“You are, but you’re also the kindest. You have the best family, too. And you’re not half bad looking; at least our kid won’t be ugly.”

They dissolved into a fit of laughter fueled by shock, exhaustion and emotional defeat. “A ginger British-Colombian. Can you imagine?”

“Will you teach them spanish?”

“I’ll have to if they have any hope of communicating with most of my family,” He chuckled. “Will you teach them how to do that thing you can with the flower petals?”

“Advanced transfiguration?” Lily huffed. “Sure, easy business for a toddler.”

“It’ll be fine, James.” Lily said, as if she was reading his mind. He wondered idly if she was, her legilimency skills were scary good, but he didn’t have any niggling feelings of intrusion in his head. “We’ll do this together.”

Perhaps it is true that we do not really exist until there is someone there to see us existing, we cannot properly speak until there is someone who can understand what we are saying in essence, we are not wholly alive until we are loved.

All this time he convinced you that he is the centre of your universe, whereas the truth is you are the sun, and he was just a mere planet, orbiting around your golden essence. It would take one million of him to make even a single you. Your soul is full of such warmth, such life giving beauty, that it is he who searched  the entire universe to find you.

Nikita Gill, Lessons From The Cosmos #2 (via meanwhilepoetry)

There were days when she was very happy without knowing why. She was happy to be alive and breathing, when her whole being seemed to be one with the sunlight, the color, the odors, the luxuriant warmth of some perfect Southern day. She liked then to wander alone into strange and unfamiliar places. She discovered many a sunny, sleepy corner, fashioned to dream in. And she found it good to dream and to be alone and unmolested.There were days when she was unhappy, she did not know why—when it did not seem worth while to be glad or sorry, to be alive or dead; when life appeared to her like a grotesque pandemonium and humanity like worms struggling blindly toward inevitable annihilation

Kate Chopin, The Awakening (via the-book-diaries)

if someone asks me at the end, i’d tell them

PUT ME BACK IN IT

I WOULD DO IT AGAIN

IF I COULD HOLD YOU FOR A MINUTE

ID GO THROUGH IT AGAIN

I WOULD STILL BE SUPRISED

I COULD FIND YOU, DARLIN

IN ANY LIFE

IF I COULD HOLD YOU FOR A MINUTE

I WOULD DO IT AGAIN

Isn’t giving up allowed sometimes? Isn’t it okay to say, ‘This really hurts, so I’m going to stop trying?’ ‘It sets a dangerous precedent.’ ‘For avoiding pain?’ ‘For avoiding life.’

Rainbow Rowell, Fangirl (via the-book-diaries)

Know this.
