he finally got to the grief part. fml.

I am known. I’m only 1/7th through this book, and Pessoa— the f*ck a$$ Lisbon bookkeeper who spent more time creating imaginary friends than balancing ledgers—already has me clocked, chocked, kicked. This isn’t a book; it’s a sigh in literary form, a journal of existential dread so precise it feels like he read my mind before I even had thoughts.
