I felt like the speaker was me, 10 years from now. It was very strange and surreal.
Albeit, I would probably not have the same experiences. But the mindset and the awkwardness and the reactions to life's general complexities - they were all me. Was this character that universally true, or am I just that complicated?
This was a beautiful, engaging and simple read. I appreciate that. I appreciate the truthful ending - a lesson I desperately need to learn. The Ending need not be storybook in order to be romantic, (or what is in our best interest and therefore - amazing).
Quit romanticizing my life. It only adds harm to wonder so many 'what ifs' you can't possibly see straight - that there is no end on the horizon, but only more doors to enter and explore. One day, you will inevitably be exhausted from trying so hard to "find" something - when truthfully, the best thing for you was generally the simplest answer.
