Omg “Flight Plan” is so cute but also so stressful I totally get Ann’s death anxiety like I feel her deeply

Tbh im not enjoying The Worthless Servant. If I was kidnapped and murdered by an escaped convict and my son said that was an act of God during his funeral speech, I’d be rolling in my grave

I need to get like Ann Patchett in The First Thanksgiving

My loan expired and im waiting on hold 😔

Ted and his big brother 🥹🥹

Love so far

“We may never speak about this again. But I hope you’ll never hold it against me that we did. I will have been a terrible father if, one day, you’d want to speak to me and felt that the door was shut or not sufficiently open.” Goat genuine goat

“We rip out so much of ourselves to be cured of things faster than we should that we go bankrupt by the age of thirty and have less to offer each time we start with someone new. But to feel nothing so as not to feel anything—what a waste!” Papa is awesome🙏 ally✊✊✊

“What I forgot to earmark in that promise was that ice and apathy have ways of instantly repealing all truces and resolutions signed in sunnier moments.” Damn

“They are embossed on every song that was a hit that summer, in every novel I read during and after his stay, on anything from the smell of rosemary on hot days to the frantic rattle of the cicadas in the afternoon—smells and sounds I’d grown up with and known every year of my life until then but that had suddenly turned on me and acquired an inflection forever colored by the events of that summer.”

Not liking this Phoebe x Gary prerogative rn

Matt and Mia are horrible why am I feeling the pain as if I’m Phoebe like actually F off

Marla is such a contrarian

Marla sounds like a miserable woman

Don't tell me this man is going to be a resolution for Phoebe. I'd rather us focus on Lila and Phoebe

"She doesn't see the point in staying alive only to do all the same things that made her want to die." Ok good Phoebe you're doing great

“‘Wait,’ Phoebe says, because she cannot send a woman out to her wedding with food stuck in her teeth. Whatever the bride may think, Phoebe is not a monster.” Idk if this supposed to be cute & quirky to make Phoebe likable, but this makes no sense 😭😭😭 so the bride having food in her teeth would ruin the wedding but not someone killing themselves in the hotel where the wedding is happening???

I fear their lack of communication & Phoebe’s overthinking is what killed their marriage, not their infertility issues alone. I 100% understand the connection between their infertility issues & Phoebe’s insecurity, it’s truly so sad, but her inner dialogue abt her degrading sexual fantasies is lowkey driving me up the wall

Phoebe is a little too in-her-head for me rn

WHAT

Ok im starting to get scared

WHAT

"Life prevails. How strange and wonderous. In the midst of death, life prevails, calls to us, begs us, says, Come please, don't you dare waste this precious gift." Mhm

"I don't understand death. The biology of it, yes, but not what remains for the living. Pain and memory and an empty place. I think to fully get it, you have to feel so profoundly that it upsets your sense of the world. It has to make you a little crazy. But it also has to make you love this miracle of existence to the point of bursting. If it doesn't, well, then you don't get it yet." Banger

I love Howard & Tuan. This office camaraderie feels so sweet & genuine

NOOOOOOOO FAWWWWKKKK I KNEW IT NOOOOOOOOOOOO

NOOOOOOOO
