"but for her, the pain of loneliness will be nothing to the pain that she used to feel, of being unworthy. he brought her goodness like a gift and now it belongs to her."

still hits like a ton of bricks!

“he didn’t know the people she was with; he guessed they were from the debating society or something. hi, he said. how could his feeling for her ever be anything like his feeling for other people? but part of the feeling was knowing the terrible hold he’d had over her, and still had, and could not foresee ever losing.”

at this point push me into oncoming traffic!

"smiles will be exchanged, relived smiles. and they will be friends again."

banging my head against the wall!!!!!!

""marianne pinches her lower lip and then says: well i don't fell lovable. i think i have an unlovable sort of . . . i have a coldness about me, i'm difficult to like. she gestures one of her long, thin hands in the air, like she's only approximating twhat she means rather than really nailing it."

what if i KMS right now..

“she can’t tell whether he’s holding back a desire to pull away from her, or a desire to make himself more vulnerable somehow. he kisses her neck. her eyes are getting heavy. i think we’ll be fine, he says.“

"connell paused and took another drag on his cigarette. this was probably the most horrifying thing eric could have said to him, not because it ended his life, but because it didn't."

connell is NOT winning the IDGAF war ..!

"she has never believed herself fit to be loved by any person. but now she has a new life, of which this is the first moment, and even after many years have passed she will still think: yes, that was it, the beginning of my life."

marianne's life "beginning" once her love for another has finally been reciprocated has me in shambles.. wish i could give my beloved marianne a hug because i've been there‪ too girl..‬

"in connell's room he and marianne lie down together whispering. he tells her that she's beautiful. she has never heard that before, though she has sometimes privately suspected it of herself, but it feels different to hear it from another person."

tears streaming down my face right now because what do you mean marianne believes she can't openly express her beauty .. 🥲💔
