No babe it’s so cool and hot that you always insist that fantasy books written to meet a 4th graders’ comprehension skills have more complex themes and a greater sense of praxis than anything written for adults

“To live means to cry, to shout, to love, to do silly things, to feel sadness and joy, to laugh, even to experience horrible, frightening things.”

[litandlifequotes]

A lot of people buy into the slogan “Live life like there’s no tomorrow.” But I tend to disagree. Once you become aware of your impending death, you have to make a compromise in accepting the loss of the life you wish you could have led and the reality of your imminent death. Sure, there will always be regrets and broken dreams, but you have to go easy on yourself. Over the last few days, I’ve come to realize that there’s a certain beauty in those regrets. They’re proof of having lived.

I must have a whole collection of small injuries tucked away somewhere in the recesses of my memory. I suppose those are what some people call regrets.

If cats disappeared from the world

This is the best book I've read so far this year. Nothing ever makes me cry but this did. The writer is so intelligent in crafting a story which is both fun and thought provoking. It seems like a lighthearted book in the beginning but as we go on it gets better and better. The last chapter was the most emotional thing. As we grow into adults we start taking our parents for granted and start to forget or be ignorant of their contribution in our lives. While they're the only ones who actually ever cared for us and wanted us to live.

If you haven't read this please read this and introspect and retrospect on your own life journey with the protagonist.

5/5☆

Kawamura you've created a gem ♡

Countless people who I seemed to have had some kind of a relationship with, but when push came to shove, didn’t really share much with after all. My contacts list was filled with people like that. My life was over and I had no one who mattered enough for me to call.

April wrap up, this was such a good reading month 😇👌🏻

[mydailybookquotes]

“Feelings can’t always be mutual. Love tends to fizzle out over time. And even though everyone knows that, it doesn’t stop anyone from falling in love. I guess it’s the same with life. We all know it has to end someday, but even so, we act as if we’re going to live forever. Like love, life is beautiful because it must come to an end.”
