♡ Joie de Vivre ♡

sisterhood

"We pretend we're happy with our lives, and when we see couples kissing in public places we make mock vomiting expressions, but we long for love. We believe in love."


party

"The nights when you make an effort, the nights when you spend hours slapping on makeup, blow-drying your hair, wearing your expensive new outfit are the nights when you never meet anyone. Not even the ugly ones."


emotional hunger

"I haven't been in therapy that long, but even I know that when the food cravings overtake me, it's not to fill my stomach, it's to fill that big space inside my heart."


make love

"...And we drove home and we made love. It wasn't shagging, or fucking, or screwing. It was slow, tender, beautiful. It felt like the kind of making love you do when you've built a relationship, when you know the ins and outs of someone's body, when you really care about them."


one-night-stand vs. the winner

"When they wake up in the morning and kiss you and cuddle you and screw you before disappearing to shave, then you know it's a one-night-stand.
"When they wake up in the morning and kiss you, and cuddle you , and want to take you out for breakfast, then you know you could be on to a winner."
