if you are ever at a bus stop then take a good look at the person not standing near everyone and know that this person is a writer. know that their hands are in pain and know that they have cried themselves dry in front of darkened mirrors because they can’t stand the sight of themselves. know that the night into which their lover fled is that which owns their soul. they know much more than you yet they would give anything not to understand. they’re wearing long sleeves for a reason and they are taking the bus only because they know that their life has no purpose, no more than that of an abandoned cigarette. know that these people with the very melancholy eyes and the pigeon-toed feet are writers and that they will love you even when they can’t love themselves.

(what it takes to make a writer)
if you are ever at a bus stop then take a good look at the person not standing near everyone and know that this person is a writer. know that their hands are in pain and know that they have cried themselves dry in front of darkened mirrors because they can’t stand the sight of themselves. know that the night into which their lover fled is that which owns their soul. they know much more than you yet they would give anything not to understand. they’re wearing long sleeves for a reason and they are taking the bus only because they know that their life has no purpose, no more than that of an abandoned cigarette. know that these people with the very melancholy eyes and the pigeon-toed feet are writers and that they will love you even when they can’t love themselves.
