I can’t read it. I can’t. I don’t know how. I don’t want to deal with the pain that is about to wash over me.
I ignore it by closing the book, deciding to read tomorrow instead. Because I can feel the pain getting closer with each page I turn and I’m not ready. (will I ever be?) I want to finish it but I just can’t. I don’t know how. Even though I have no idea how it’s going to end. I can feel it.

“”You are not alone” “Actually I am, which is part of the problem; we are all alone, trapped in these bodies and our own minds, and whatever company we have in this life is only fleeting and superficial.””

I swear to God if Finch dies at the end, I die. It is not allowed to happen because I will shatter and hurt. Although, there is nothing that indicates he will take his life, except that he thinks about it all the time… But Violet must be enough for him to stay. RIGHT??? Otherwise this book should be illegal to read for mentally unstable people, like myself, because it will leave me with wanting to die too.

A lot of the thoughts and wishes that Finch has, I know too well, like wanting to feel, matter and to be where my feet are. Although I’m not brave enough to actually climb up a bell tower or drive faster than the wind, I wish I was. Maybe I’m more like Violet in that way in need of a push. But there is no one around to give it. Where is my Theodor Finch?
