Don’t let the bastards grind you down.

get to know me: [3/5] favourite books → the handmaid’s tale by margaret atwood

when we think of the past it’s the beautiful things we pick out. we want to believe it was all like that.

favorite characters: june osborne ♡ A perfect gift. A girl trapped in a box. She only dances when someone opens the lid, when someone else winds her up. If this is a story I’m telling, I must be telling it to someone. There’s always someone, even when there’s no one. I will not be that girl in the box.

I don’t need oranges. I need to scream. I need to grab the nearest machine gun.
