Overthinks. Constantly trying to be a better person. Grateful for the little things in life. Just want to talk with someone. An Intellectual™. Wants to read more than they do. They don’t just hug you, they hold you tight and make you feel a little less alone in the world.

Puts everything into their calendar/planner. Likes spinning in circles and stretching and bouncing and swinging your joint hands back and forth. Loves to go on walks. Looking at their smile will make you a little more happy to be alive.

Loves to sit and just take in the scenery. Great listeners, make you feel heard. The Mom Friend™. Texts to ask if you’re okay or if you had a good day. Notices things most people don’t. Always have a different perspective. Needs to let people help them a bit more.  A little ball of stress but trying their hardest. They will look you in your eyes with such warmth and love that you love yourself just a tad more too.

-Lighting Veins: Has probably drunk at least one energy drink in the last hour. The type of person you go out on the town with. Extravert. What they lack in self control they make up for with sheer enthusiasm. Always starting a new project. Full of inspiration. Can never shut off their mind. Will laugh with you over the stupidest things. A bit on the sarcastic side. Full of wanderlust. Constantly talks about all the trips they want to go on and places they want to see. Wants to do everything. Wants to be everything. Listening to them talk about your dreams makes you a bit more excited about existing.

“Are you alright?”

“Yes, of course. Like I said; I didn’t know him very well.”

Set It Up (2018)

You know what makes me sad?

The fact that Ron Weasley is seen as what the horcrux showed as his greatest fear.

Not good enough.

- What’s that you’re reading? - It’s about cryptography. - Like… Secret messages? - Not secret: that’s the brilliant part. Messages that anyone can see, but no one knows what they mean, unless you have the key. - How’s that different from talking? - Talking? - When people talk to each other, they never say what they mean. They say something else, and you’re expected to just know what they mean. Only I never do. So, how’s that different? - Alan, I have a funny feeling you’re going to be very good at this.

Alan Turing & Christopher Morcom, from the movie “The Imitation Game”

You wish you could have been normal… I can promise you I do not. The world is an infinitely better place precisely because you weren’t.
