This is a weird case where, after getting this far, I’m wondering to myself: “how did we get this far?” lol. I mean, I’m surprised. Like, how did this many pages happen? It’s not exhaustion resulting from long events. It’s just a “whoa.” Like having a [book] hangover but the party is still happening…..
And you’re still down to party…

I’m feeling surprisingly angry. Angry that she had to wait more than ten years to be able to publish this. I’m angry For her.

“That is what I want to know about each one, being in them making of them ones succeeding, ones failing, ones succeeding and failing, ones failing and succeeding in being in living. This is what I want to know about each one and I never can know everything and perhaps I never can know everything about this thing. Very likely I can never know everything about this thing. That is to me a thing made of me, one certain to be one some day certainly ending. I like living but I am certain that I cannot know everything and so I know certainly that I will be one some day not being any longer living. This is not to me now a sorrowful thing, this is to me now quite a certain thing. I like being living, I like too being certain of something, I am certainly certain of something.”
