pure Effy

- We'd be good together, don't you think?

- No.

- Why?

- Because I'll break your heart.

- Maybe I'll break yours.

- Nobody breaks my heart.

Have you ever loved someone and then something happens 

and you wonder if, perhaps, you didn't even know him at all?

Effy lives forever

Anger. Jealousy. Bitterness. Tiredness. Hope. Lust. Love.

It's everywhere.

hideaway

I've loved you from the first time I saw you. I think I was 12. It took me 3 years to pluck up the courage to speak to you. And I was so scared of the way I felt. But I learned how to become a sarcastic bitch just to make it feel normal. I screw guys to make it go away, but It didn't work. When we got together it scared the shit out of me because you were the one person who could ruin my life. I pushed you away and made you think things were your fault, but really, I was just terrified of pain. But... I couldn't stand. I didn't want to be a slave for the way I feel about you. Can you understand? You were trying to punish me back and it's horrible. It's so horrible because, really, I'd die for you. I love you. I love you so much it's killing me.

once again, Skins

Be brave and love me back

- I do want someone. Need someone. You're right.
- And?
- And... when I'm with you, I feel like I'm a better person. I feel happier. Less...alone. Less lonely. But it's not as simple as that, is it? Being with someone.
- Isn't it?
- No. I mean, I don't know. I mean, I don't think so. I mean... can't we just sit like this... for a bit?
- Yeah. We can. For a bit.

- Okay, whatever. We've gotta stand up, say our names and a unique fact about ourselves. Right, I'll start. I'm Kieram, and I hate being a fucking teacher. You.
- I'm Emily, and I've never had a boyfriend.
- Okay, shit happens. You.
- I'm Naomi, hate injustice. People tell lies about me.
- You in the back.
- I'm Effy, and I think my mum's having an affair.
- Good one. Shows enterprise. What about you big man?
- Am...I'm Freddie, I met a girl I like today. She's like...b e a u t i f u l. That's it.

Forever young

Some days are disasters that you wish could just end

other days are bastards, just like a bad boyfriend

but it makes me feel much worse than this to see your face masked with a frown

I'm not telling you to smile, but don't be down

don't be down, my friend! don't do your wrists any harm!

you don't belong on a funny farm

and I'd rather see you in a party dress than in a hospital gown

I'm not telling you to smile, but don't be down
