so it happens tt i just got back frm malacca with the parents. and i came across some revelations, the greatest of this being:
tt i was wrong.
i thought tt i was the only one feeling the way i did; insecure, unimportant, missing him the way i did, and reproaching myself for being goddamn fucking weak.
and then when he drank so much last night, tt he started messaging me more in 5 min than he had in the past few days, did i realise how he truly felt.
like i did.
i don't want him to see me off, but he's as stubborn as i am. fuck it. really just... fuck it.
anyway i started... and finished neil gaimon's 'american gods' on my trip to malacca. what started as reading to pass the time became reading coz i got so hooked to the goddamn book tt i just couldn't put it down. i was carrying the book everywhere; even to the restaurant, in the car, and i was even reading till 2am last night and my parents were irritated coz i was sharing the room with them and they couldn't sleep coz i wouldn't turn the the lights off coz i just couldn't bear to close the book.
as someone who has never read 'the sandman' before, i now understand why neil gaimon is so adored. he is a magician. he weaves magic with his stories and his style of writing. he gives his characters so much depth they are as real to you as flesh and blood and just by closing your eyes and losing yourself in his novel, you can enter his world and live his stories.
i haven't managed to finish a story since my dragonlance trilogy of the twins, and it's been a fucking long time since i can honestly say tt i am reading a book tt i cannot put down. it's a thrill to be able to lose myself in a good book once again after so long.
and my absolute fave lines in the book:
when the protagonist 'shadow' is speaking to a raven tt is one of the 2 creature companions of wednesday, aka the god odin. and shadow wants to know if this raven is called 'memory' or 'thought'. but the raven refuses to answer him. so he tries his luck:
"say 'nevermore'," said shadow to the raven.
and the raven replied:
"fuck you."
now playing: hotel costes - cafe de flor
