“You know what’s sad about reading books? It’s that you fall in love with the characters. They grow on you. And as you read, you start to feel what they feel - all of them - you become them. And when you’re done, you’re never the same. Sure you’re still you, you look the same, talk in the same manner, but something in you has changed. Something in the way you think, the way you choose, sometimes, even the things you say may differ. But it all comes down to the state you go to after a nice novel. The after-feeling. It’s amazing, but somehow, you feel left alone by that world you were once in. It’s overwhelming. But it makes you sad. Cause for once you were this, this otherworldly being in… Neverwhere, and then you suddenly have to say goodbye after a few weeks from when you read the last page. When you’ve recovered from that state it’s just… quite sad.”

Suzanne Collins, The Hunger Games
(via panemdiaries)
do you ever listen to a song a hundred times and then you hear one line that you’ve heard before but never really payed attention to you and you realize “holy shit, that’s my life in a lyric” and then you just wanna write it everywhere and scream it across rooftops and get it tattooed on your forehead
Remember when this
was the only picture we had? and every graphic was of this picture?
good times.
