"If I believe good wombs have borne bad sons Then I have no qualms using my gun I only love the things that I can hurt" -Nicole Dollanganger (Lividity) ***Massive trigger warnings, so don't read this if you'll feel unsafe.*** **Deleted by Wattpad at 300k, retyped by a host of angels whom I owe my life to

"This is how it often goes, sold into captivity so long ago. This is how it often goes. God knows I would know." -Mothers (Lockjaw) As awful as it sounded, Josh's favourite letters were the ones that came from people who, for some reason, thought he'd want to be their boyfriend. That didn't make any sense to him. You'd have to be embarrassingly lonely to write love letters to someone who was slated to serve 76 years in prison. The sentiment was nice though.

"We are not alive. We are surviving every time. Wrapped inside a cocoon made of flesh and bones, it doesn't really matter where you come from. We are home." -AURORA (Home)

"Did you know me? Have you seen me on your TV? They're still looking." -Nicole Dollanganger (Have You Seen Me?) ***Trigger warnings for abuse, kidnapping, blood, gore, violence, brutality, and probably a lot more.***
