(Holding a Poem in the Body)

“And any genius I might have belongs only to me.”

“This world’s been waiting
for your genius a long time.”

First impression: It’s kind of offensive to read this in a published poetry book. Made me question: What makes good art?
I’m not sure how to feel about it so far. On one hand, it’s relatable and authentic and I like the writing concept. But it’s so modern it almost feels… ridiculous in a way? Maybe I’m just not used to it.
I dunno, have to read more.

(I’m reading this for English class, btw ;))

„Was du säst, wirst du ernten“.

Very good first impression :)

“I can’t hide again like last time.” (p. 277)
“I always told you that you were stronger than you realized, didn’t I, Romy Silvers?” (p. 278)

Bro what… :,0

“I leave my two nightmares behind me to finger it out between themselves…” hihi

“What am I going to do?
What am I going to do?”

:0…
p. 193 - 195
p. 211
p. 220

The new system inside Romy’s ship continuously failing reminds me of how I feel about the new IOS system (I hate it).
Also, I like seeing her be so human and phantasise about her dream life, even if it seems so out of reach; it’s natural and very relatable :)

Okay, maybe I was overreacting.

One page later and I already let out a small sigh of annoyance… Bro is 22 years old. The things he’s writing her aren’t exactly intimate, just… control yourself a little in your *emails*… Again, I understand the circumstances but the “Wortlaut” makes me raise an eyebrow and quietly say “Okay…” 0_0

“Once J is here, all my problems will disappear”.
Oh, I’ve had thoughts like this before… This isn’t going so well for Romy :/

Romy is getting more and more delusional, and honestly, that’s understandable. She’s really clinging onto this friendship she’s building with J, the only person in her reach. Especially with the previous radio silence and now the new unsettling message from earth. All understandable!
Just… I’m kind of confused about J’s tone in his messages… I dunno… He’s 22, is all I’m saying. 0_0

Die Meditation und der erste Versuch, kreativ zu visualisieren war sehr entspannend :)

So far so good :)
