one of my favorite things about being a reader is the experience of reading something almost soul-crushingly devastating and then deciding to pick up a silly little romcom to give my heart a little break

just finished the poppy war trilogy. i don’t think a series has ever left such a gaping HOLE in my heart— every time i think about it, there’s always something new to break apart, analyze, and reconstruct again. these characters and this world and this story now have an indelible mark on my heart

Writing is fine. It's literally the most embarrassing thing on earth to emotionally put yourself on full display for rejection or validation, but it's good. I enjoy it. I find it therapeutic to horrify myself.
