Apparently being a mermaid is dead dull. I watched The Little Mermaid with her once a few years ago—she thought it was freaking hilarious. She couldn’t stop laughing about the shell-bra thing, given that mermaids aren’t mammals. Plus, as she put it, Prince Eric was far too hairy and “peach colored” for her taste. I always thought he was pretty hot, but then again, I am a mammal. ↗

I wondered if this was the way old crushes died, with a whimper, slowly, and then, just like that—gone. ↗

When you come to the edge of all that you know, you must believe one of two things: either there will be ground to stand on, or you will be given wings to fly. ↗

If it could only be like this always – always summer, always alone, the fruit always ripe and Aloysius in a good temper... ↗
