"Why should I not want something better?” she went on. “Doesn’t everyone? Don’t you? The old order, it is good for the old. A farmer wants his son to be afraid of beautiful women, so that he will not leave home too soon, so he tells a story about how one drowned his brother’s cousin’s friend in a lake, not because he was a pig who deserved to be drowned, but because beautiful women are bad, and also witches. And it doesn’t matter that she didn’t ask to be beautiful, or to be born in a lake, or to live forever, or to not know how men breathe until they stop doing it. Well, I do not want to be beautiful, or a woman, or anything. I want to know how men breathe."

laaltakath asked: Surprise beautiful person! Once you get this, you must put it into at least 8 people's asks (anonymously) who deserve it. If you break the chain, nothing will happen, but it's nice to know that someone thinks you're beautiful inside and out. Stay strong.

last night, a strange thing happened. i had an unprecedented impulse to go on a walk; and as if that wasn’t unusual enough, i decided to ~follow~ this impulse. i plugged in my earbuds and started walking around the periphery of campus. then, even curiouser, i wanted to ~jog~ for a bit. JOG. so, again, i gave way to this impulse, and then… my heart rate spiraled off the charts, my knees buckled, and i lost my ability to breathe. suddenly, i felt myself growing smaller. smaller, and smaller, and smaller- until i was lying on the ground, barely tall enough to reach the grass on the side of the road. when i got back to my room five hours later, i realized the sorry truth: i had turned into a slug. moral of the story: i am never jogging again.
