differenziert ironisch

Danke, dass ich das lesen darf- um zu wissen, wie es war

One of the most beautiful books I've ever read. I don't wanna continue to not read it through.
It's so much how I experience the world.
So much how queer love felt to me- it was never about the physicality but the desire to spend every godamn minute with that other person. To get to know her forever from the inside out. Also such a beautiful book about friendshiplove being similar & not the same

"We watch your preferences more than mine. Maybe because you're pickier and I'm thirstier to exposure to your familiar. (...) I love so many things, you so few"

true beauty

David Brooks paints a beautiful picture with depth, analyzing through personal experiences and through literature. I would have wished for the sources to be quoted on the pages throughout the book as well. But I understand that that is a fairly new style and considered difficult to read often.
I think he builds his perspective on the assumption that people wanna be seen. In my experience that is not always the case

Rereading- it will be so interesting to reflect on when I read it back than vs. now 5 years later

6/5 stars
