a big sigh of relief that i am done now

bad days need good books

“I stand and grab my bag, heading back the way I came. But it doesn’t feel like I’m moving backward. It feels like the first step toward someplace new.”

“I love you both.” It feels unnatural, but that doesn’t mean it’s not true, only that I’ve gone too long without saying it.

“No one else’s happiness is yours to grant, Mom. You need to find yours.”

the bond that they all have together (side effects: lots of tears)

“I do not know how this story will unfold. As I said, neither you nor I nor anyone can ever know whether a story is happy or tragic. It may be impossible to categorize a story so neatly in the first place. Life takes on various flavors as it flows. I’ve decided to confront it. Confront whatever life throws at me, as I always have. And however much I can feel, nothing more, nothing less.”

in conclusion, i cried.

This: “You’re nice. And you’re normal. But you’re also special. That’s how I understand you.”

Vs This: “We might not see each other from now on. So instead of a goodbye kiss, take this.”

The range this had.

(lowkey sobbing)

just talking every opportunity i get through out the day to read (who would've thought 🤷‍♀️)

this is just a record for me: started reading, paused to celebrate the 10th anni of my beloveds, then continued reading until part 3 (and the description of chap 49 is leaving me in anticipation)

24 hours in a day is not enough

how i just,,, read 21% of the book without feeling it??

(physically stopping myself from finishing it too quickly before it could sink into my skin)

take a shot every time i underline something in just chapter 1

progress!! (also excitement through the roof for my career)

“Don’t count yourself out this early. You’re all sorts of things you don’t even know yet.” That really stuck with me. That who I was wasn’t entirely already determined.

another book i inhaled towards the end, but i kind of feel like i haven't had enough of that world yet. i felt relieved i could see the song lyrics that they spoke about @ end of the book, like a little compilation,,, pheww why am i feeling a lot?

“Life is about who is holding your hand and, I think, whose hand you commit to holding.”

“It’s just rock ’n’ roll. None of this really matters.”

oh god. i just. oh god.

so reading this while one of my favourite artists is on tour and is a preeetty interesting experience to say the least

"The tears that come out of me feel as if they were decades in the making. It feels as if some old version of me is leaking out, letting go, saying good-bye in the effort of making room for a new me."

how is it that i am on a streak of reading books that are all requiring me x business days to process.
