Celeste sauntered on over to the steps of the old, brick building. She absentmindedly touched the pink ribbon in her hair before spotting her good friend, Meghan, already sitting on the steps of the building. They had agreed to meet a little early so they wouldn’t have to enter the building alone later. Celeste sprinted […]
She longed for land. She wanted to feel the ground, cool and sturdy, underneath her sand colored feet and take deep gulps of air. She wanted to love the seagull symphonies and listen to the mighty lion’s roar. She wanted to watch the flowers open their jewel-toned petals with a flourish and see the stars […]

I love this quote. It also reminds me of the book “Looking for Alaska” which I recently read. I didn’t like it very much, […]
I hate people who take beautiful quotes and completely twist them. Sometimes you just have to take them in context instead of rolling with it and morphing it into something grotesque.

A meadow green one’s wings slapped together in a rhythmic beat much like the infinite lapping of waves on a calm day. It was a nice […]
