“falling in love
with you

was
like that

knowing,
heart-stopping,
airless,
upside-down

moment
right before

a fatal
collision.

-brace for impact.”
― Amanda Lovelace, To Make Monsters Out of Girls

“there was
no comfort

to be
found in

the
pages

that once
pulled me

through
it all.

-you took things i didn't know you could take.”
― Amanda Lovelace, To Make Monsters Out of Girls

“I. you will
come across people
who simply cannot wait
to watch you fail.

II. there will be many times
in which you
will fail
(miserably),

III. but your failures
are just what happened-
they don't have to be
who you are.

IV. all you can do is
take those mistakes
& use them as fertilizer
to help you grow.

V. you have to
keeping moving forward
no matter what
their voices say.

- this life is still worth living.”
― Amanda Lovelace

“but now i’ve got gold in the cracks.”
― Amanda Lovelace, The Princess Saves Herself in this One
