"It takes a long time. That’s why it doesn’t often happen to people who break easily or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept. Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out, and you get loose in the joints and very shabby. But these things don’t matter at all; because once you are Real, you can’t be ugly, except to people who don’t understand."

The Skin Horse, From “The Velveteen Rabbit”

Books and Frills
Hey Guys, I'm a 23 year old nothing that spends way too much time on the internet. I dress in Lolita, knit and read a whole lot of books. I have a puppy that I love way too much, but I promise not to spam too much puppy pics.
