recently just finished reading this book. such a solid one to get yourself lost in. also good for when you need a good cry! kind of a depressing title, but actually a wholesome book.

just finished reading this after sitting on my bookshelf for 10+ years. one of my favorite reads this year although re: your criteria, it may be a little bit depressing but in a chill nothing matters type of way. Confusing at parts (which is kinda fun) and would consider rereading

started sobbing in the first 50 pages. never stopped. don’t read if you fear eternal loneliness and/or fading into oblivion. or do, I survived

I finished reading it sitting on the tube platform and the last few pages had me in tears. It’s nice to feel seen
I’ve felt a lot of loneliness and shame in my life. I’ve often felt like I didn’t really belong here and I’ve spent a lot of my life hiding, pretending and running away. But really, feeling lonely is part of being human. There’s nothing to be ashamed of

i have always known this. that people come and go. but it was only recently that this statement really… struck me. i guess that no matter how much you want people to stay in your life, sometimes it‘s just inevitable. though it was hard at first to let go of ‘your person’, i also realized that relationships are maintained by more than just one person.
so no matter how much you want to keep those people in your life, to save the relationship and connection that you have, at the end of the day, they also have a say in what they feel and what they want. and if what they want is to be out of your life, then the best thing that you could do is to accept and respect that.
it’s the best thing that you could do. not only for them, but also for you.

nothing beats the aftermath feeling of hanging out with your homies that you haven’t seen for a long while, knowing that you had a well spent day with the right people.
my heart is full.

just turned 23 today!
i feel like you always got these existential crisis in your early twenties. (or is that just me?)
but the number 23 is particularly such a strange age.
you feel confused about in which end of the spectrum that you fell in. you are no longer considered to be a teen, but you also don’t have much of a responsibility to be called an adult just yet. you’re an in-between.
i guess i can relate to when mark hoppus sang what’s my age again, which legit sums up the whole confusion in being the age of 23. of still feeling like you’re not an adult just yet, but also forced to act your age.
peter pan complex really does exist huh?
