And isn’t the whole point of things—beautiful things—that they connect you to some larger beauty? Those first images that crack your heart wide open and you spend the rest of your life chasing, or trying to recapture, in one way or another?

i am really holding on to that 'it will get better' part otherwise i will officially lose it
thinking about how theo used boris’ home phone number as the passcode to the locker where he (thought he) kept the goldfinch painting aka the physical manifestation of his heart... so every time he went to see the painting he would have to think about boris... donna you really crossed a line with that one... !
Having a really long-term hyperfixation that has since faded is terrifying yes but it's also so embarrassing. Hi I used to think about Scrimblo Splungus 25/7. Yeah, for 2 years straight. Nah, I don't think about them anymore except for with a vague sense of melancholy as I recall how they used to make me feel. Anyways this new one, Blimpkins McGee? I'm gonna think about them forever and the cycle will NOT repeat in 2 years. Trust me guys.
I wish someone loved me as much as Theo loved that fucking painting
every day i discover the meaning of life and then i lose it again and then again a new day and i discover the meaning of life and lose it by night time and then again and so on
Pinterest is the only social platform that makes me feel refreshed afterward as if I just went on a hike and made an egg white omelette
