Date a girl who may never wear completely clean clothes,because of coffee stains and ink spills.She'll have many problems with her closet space, and her laptops never boring because there are so many words, so many worlds that she's cluttered amidst the space. Tabs open filled with obscure and popular music. Interesting factoids about Catherine the Great, and the immorality of jellyfish. Laugh it off when she tells you that she forgot to clean her room,that her clothes are lost among the binders so it'll take her longer to get ready, that her shoes hidden under the mountain of broken Bic pens and the refurbished laptop that she saved for ever since she was twelve. Kiss her under the lamppost, when it's raining. Tell her your definition of love. Find a girl who write. You'll know that she has a sense of humor,a sense of empathy and kindness,and that she will dream up worlds, universes for you. She's the one with the faintest of shadows underneath her eyelids, the one who smells of coffee and jasmine green tea. You see the girl hunched over a notebook? That's a writer.with her fingers occasionally smudged with charcoal, with ink that will travel onto your hands when you interlock your fingers with her's. she will never stop, churning out adventures, of traitors and heroes. Darkness and light. Fear and love. That's the writer. She can never resist filling a blank page with words, whatever the color of the page is. She's the girl reading while waiting for her coffee and tea. She's the quiet girl with her music turned up loud(or impossibly quiet) separating the two of you by an ocean of crescendos and decreacendos as she's thinking of the perfect words. If you take a peek at her cup, the tea or coffee's already cold. She's already forgotten it. Use a pick-up line with her if she doesn't look to busy.if she closes her laptop,give her your critique of Tolstory, and your best theories of Hannibal and the Crossing. Tell her your characters, your dreams, and ask if she's gotten through her first novel. It's hard to date a girl who writes. But be patient with her. Give her books for her birthday,pretty notebooks for Christmas. Give her the gift of words,for writers are talkative people,and they are verbose in their thanks. Let her know that you are behind her every step of the way, for the lines between fiction and reality are fluid. She'll give you a chance.
There's so much more to write..but I'd rather stop here. This was just a break from writing my school essay :p haha. I found this on tumblr. I'll post the rest another time.
