Whenever someone does something nice for me, I feel intensely aware of how strange and sad it is to know someone

Sometimes I wonder if I have really been the same person my whole life. I stare at the picture, and think: Is that really me? I have this bizarre feeling like I was a different person at every other stage of my life. I feel so removed from myself then. Sometimes I feel like I was a different person a month ago. A day. Five minutes. Now.

"I wish I could exist in this moment without carrying the baggage I've collected throughout my life."

😮‍💨

Okay waaaait. Darcy from this book and Enid from Interesting Facts About Space exist in the same universe and met before? 🤔

"The problem with you is I don't know when you're making fun and when you're serious."

"I am always both."

"When I thought about what we had, it didn't matter that it was friendship. I loved her."

🥺

This one's for the eldest/ only daughters for sureeeee

Oh man, I'm so pissed for her right now

Currently loving this

I understand why everyone loves this 🥲 the hype is real

It started off with a Sylvia Plath quote - that says everything I need to know about what's coming 🥲

Is the husband the true villain because it's feeling like he might be lol

Could probably finish this in one sitting if I didn't stop myself. It's so suspenseful 👀

"You think you get more than one Anna in a lifetime? That you'll feel a connection like that again? I saw you together. Beats me what she saw in yourself, but I'm telling you: it was legit."

🥲

Every time I put this book down for an extended period of time and pick it back up, I wonder how I ever put it down in the first place

Stabbing myself in the chest would hurt less than this

I'm on the edge of my seat 👀

"When I say I'm still in love with you, I mean the first time I saw you and right now. I mean every second in between."

😭

"I wished for him," I admit, my heart in my throat again. "Then I blew out the candle and the wish came true. That's how it's been ever since."

🥹

Omg

"When you know who you're becoming, it's a lot easier to make peace with who you've been."

You may fear the quiet times in your life, when your soul goes through a winter. However, it's often those times when the most profound & human work of all is being completed. Be still. Do nothing. It is both the quiet & the noise that writes the symphony, the blank canvas & the paint that makes the picture, the rest & the movement that gives you the wisdom, insight & clarity to press forward more boldly than ever

"I know I did the right thing. It just doesn't feel all that right at the moment."

Real
