because you can't read my tornado-like handwriting,
and because I took the picture at a weird angle,
actually, mostly because I took it at a weird angle,
here's the quote:
{ That was the kind of world they lived in:
When people were afraid, they did not always do what they knew to be right.
They turned away.
They closed their eyes.
They said, Tomorrow. Tomorrow, perhaps, I'll do something about it.
And they said that till they died. }
*shivers*
I don't know about you,
but to me, that's pretty goddamn true.
procrastination and ignoring problems.
because people are afraid.
we don't want to deal with it,
but we know we should.
because sometimes,
the roaring voice of our thoughts are louder
than the sincere whispers of our hearts.

It's from Liesl & Po, by Lauren Oliver.
the illustrations is the book are adorable,
and also, pretty amazing.
it's about a girl
whose stepmother locks her in the attic
and outside, the sun hasn't shone for 1728 days.
then
she meets a ghost and its pet; Po and Bundle
and an alchemist's apprentice; Will.
evils stepmothers,
alchemists,
Lady Premieres,
ghosts,
little girls,
old women riding on backs of policemen.
:)
I like it.
it was pretty good.
at least that's what I think.

a little something:
Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes. That way you're a mile away, and you have their shoes too.
cheerio :*
