Because you look like Thor and Loki had a hot slashfic kid who cosplays a goth Viking.
He doesn’t know why he loves her. But does anyone know why they love? We don’t love people for their traits – traits are common. We love them for their unique ability to tug at our soul, to connect to us in a way that no other person can. Love is unexplainable, unpredictable, and often unreasonable. It doesn’t make sense, and doesn’t care to explain to us its thought process. He hears.

If others change, it’s because they want to change, not because you can change them.

That iPhone sitting in your pocket is the exact equivalent of a Cray XMP supercomputer from twenty years ago that used to cost ten million dollars. It’s got the same operating system software, the same processing speed, the same data storage, compressed down to a six-hundred-dollar device. That.
