To Find Beauty In Such A Thing. Snowflakes Falling From The Sky. Shoved This Way And That By The Wind.

“To find beauty in such a thing. Snowflakes falling from the sky. Shoved this way and that by the wind. Nothing to hold onto. No stability. None. Powerless concerning where it will end up in the end. To begin with such originality, such uniqueness, none of the other snowflakes having that individual snowflake’s same pattern, only for it to fall atop the others and then be viewed as a blanket of white, stripped of it’s individuality to fade amongst its fellow snowflakes.”

“I suppose it is a monstrosity to take delight from looking out the window...”

“And to instead ignore the beauty that the world has to offer? To turn away from millions of snowflakes dancing to a song that only they can hear until, one by one, they join the other snowflakes to stay or melt together and are ready to catch and care for other snowflakes that wish to join them?”

“Good God, you make my head hurt.”

“I make you think. A hurting head is a sign of a lazy mind. Never let your mind grow lazy, Alice.”

And this baby too!

“Oh, my. Even I’m not that kinky.” He pulled his hands out of the pockets of his coat and started creeping in her direction.

“You know that’s not what I meant.” As he continued to get closer, she tried to yank her arms from the chair, but the rope was too tight. She froze as soon as she felt the back of his fingers brush against her cheek.

“Regardless, Evelyn, I told you that you would be thinking of me.”

“You’ve been on my mind mind a lot.” Seeing a smile blossom on his mouth, she continued. “Usually covered in blood and screaming. It puts me to sleep at night.”

“I may be dumb, but I’m not that dumb.” “She was picking up pizza outside of your dorm on your birthday and you thought that she was cancelling your guys’ dinner plans to eat with someone else.” “... It could have been a tad more clear.” “What did you want? A big arrow pointing to the box saying, ‘Pizza for Lilian’s surprise birthday party’?” “That would have cleared everything up, yes.”

“As long as I’m not the one doing the plan, I’m cool with supporting it.”

“Bet me fifty bucks and I’ll do it.”

“Come on, you didn’t really believe that lie, did you?”

“Do you have any alcohol? I need it.”

“Everywhere I go, here you are. This is getting creepy.”

“For the love of God, I just wanted some coffee!”

“Give me that, you fiend.”

“How did you even get up there? Actually, I don’t want to know, never mind.”

“I may be dumb, but I’m not that dumb.”

“Just hurry up and leave, my mom’s going to be here soon.”

“Knucklehead is such a pure term, don’t you agree? Like, I want someone to insult me by calling me a knucklehead.”

“Look! Wait, don’t look, that’s gruesome. Oh…Oh wow.”

“Much appreciation, kind sir.”

“Never take anything I say seriously.”

“Over the bridge, take a right, there’s the body.”

“Plan F isn’t going so well, on to plan G?”

“Quiet! Don’t you see she’s sleeping?”

“Respect your elders, I’m seven months older than you so have to respect me.”

“Something tells me this isn’t just a kind visit, what do you want?”

“Try again, asshat, I’m still alive.”

“Unblock the damn door, I’m cold!”

“Vacant towns are probably my biggest fear.”

“Why did you do the exact opposite of what I said?”

“X,Y, and Z. I used to think ‘and’ was another letter.”

“You are the worst person in my life, but I love you.”

“Zip up your jacket, nobody wants to see that!”

"You nearly electrocuted yourself this morning by sticking a knife in the toaster while it was plugged in, you almost stumbled into the fire pit last night when you were the only one sober, you ate a brownie that had a label saying 'contains nuts' and had to be rushed to the hospital, and the fire department had to come to your house three times last week. How exactly do you find that to be a 'good start'?"
