"At one magical instant in your early childhood, the page of a book—that string of confused, alien ciphers—shivered into meaning. Words spoke to you, gave up their secrets; at that moment, whole universes opened. You became, irrevocably, a reader."
– Alberto Manguel (via thelifeofabookjunky)

"‎”It’s a most distressing affliction to have a sentimental heart and a skeptical mind."
– Naguib Mahfouz  (via audrotas)

So

I woke up this morning with an itch on my arm so I kept scratching it, thinking nothing of it

Turns out they’re are two massive bug bites and they swelled to be a huge lump on my arm????? And it hurts and it’s boiling hot to the touch and uh

Currently sitting in the doctor’s office waiting for him to check it
