Okay But Ellie And Aster's First Interaction In The Hallway And The Way Aster Says "all That Repressed

I have to keep myself reminding this!

You can do and have all you want if you step out of your own way. You are nothing less than stunning.

The half of it just took half of my heart

Kitab Khana, Mumbai

okay, so who's going to take one for the team and write the whole thing in aster's point of view, involving her journey (?) in finding out that the person sending her letters is actually ellie before church scene, her denial bc comphet, and gay awakening, and also, idk if it's implied or i'm reading too much from the movie, her feelings for ellie prior to the events on the film

Finally I did it! From head to this journal !

i wish i could stop entering social situations under the presumption that everyone already is annoyed by my presence.. i know i have the capacity for warmth and connection but the second i enter a scenario with other people my mind tries to convince me everyone hates me regardless of how nice the interaction seems to be going… screaming

The greatest hazard of all, losing one’s self, can occur very quietly in the world, as if it were nothing at all.

The Sickness Unto Death, Søren Kierkegaard

When Franz Kafka said You are the knife I turn inside myself; that is love. That, my dear, is love, and Richard Jackson said It was a mistake to keep this single knife in my heart so long, but it is my knife, and my heart, too.

You know what it’s like to finally meet someone your age who gets you? Love, it’s not finding your perfect half. It’s the trying, and reaching, and falling.
