“…things get broken, and sometimes they get repaired, and in most cases, you realize that no matter what gets damaged, life rearranges itself to compensate for your loss, sometimes wonderfully.”
— Hanya Yanagihara, A Little Life
HEARTSTOPPER, SEASON 2 (2023)
“You won’t understand what I mean now, but someday you will: the only trick of friendship, I think, is to find people who are better than you are—not smarter, not cooler, but kinder, and more generous, and more forgiving—and then to appreciate them for what they can teach you, and to try to listen to them when they tell you something about yourself, no matter how bad—or good—it might be, and to trust them, which is the hardest thing of all. But the best, as well.” ― Hanya Yanagihara, A Little Life
…this [incident] is a metaphor for life: things get broken, and sometimes they get repaired, and in most cases, you realise that no matter what gets damaged, life rearranges itself to compensate for your loss, sometimes wonderfully.

I can tell that you’ve gone on far longer than most people would. I can tell you that you’ve been extraordinarily courageous – don’t make that face: you have been; you are – and I can tell you that I can’t imagine what you’ve been suffering.

I really like the format of The People in the Trees, and I wanna use it for something if I ever get around to doing anything ever
very overdue reading update
okay so
last i said i finished the winners which closed out the beartown series and i adored them so much. i love benji and i have done a heavy amount of reading since then.
i ended up dabbling in a genre i'm not entirely familiar with, that being romance. i read and finished the chestnut springs series by elsie silver in the span of 12 days and i really enjoyed them believe it or not. though i hated the last one and i will personally fist fight beau eaton myself.
now to shift from all of that sappy lovey dovey stuff i am reading
drum roll

a little life 💌 by hanya yanagihara
been feeling a little numb and bored time to re-read a little life
Jude St Francis...deserves the world.
Imagine, if you will:
Jude is sleeping, curled on his side as usual and Willem holding him from behind. So, so close and so tight- wide awake and just filled with love and fear and sadness but love. Then he whispers, into Jude's hair:
Now, cry with me.
( just finished the book and i haven't been this distraught since 'wHaT hAs hEcToR eVeR dOnE tO mE?')
There are normal days and then there are days I'm reminded of the three years Jude had to remain on this earth without Wilhelm.
"Perhaps it is the greater grief, after all, to be left on earth when another is gone." - Song of Achilles
