But the people who did get that love, they grew up to be different from us. More secure. Maybe they’re not as shiny or successful as you and I feel we have to be. But it’s not because they’re not interesting. They just don’t feel they have to do the tap dance, you know? They don’t have to prove themselves all the time to be loved. Because they always were.

Books with a "tinge" of pink.
Do you ever just stare at the book you're reading because of how beautiful the cover is? I know I did with these books. Long story short, I enjoyed Bunny so much that I'm currently re-reading and annotating it right now.

We want because we’re wanting . Both senses of the word. The lacking and the longing, all rolled into one. The more you find yourself wanting, the more you want

J’imagine que c’est à ça que devrait ressembler la vie : partir pour un long voyage en voiture avec tous ses soucis et ses espoirs enroulés autour de soi, tandis que ceux qu’on aime le plus au monde font frénétiquement coucou dans le rétroviseur.

VO : “I guess that’s what life should feel like, setting off on a long car ride with all your worries and hopes strapped around you, the people who love you most frantically waving you off as you go”

“I look at Frank. That was the thing about him. He noticed that. He noticed people. It was his gift. Or really, it was the gift he gave you. To be seen.”

"È così che ci si sente quando si ama." "Come hummus?" "Come la terra. L'amore ti tiene a terra. Tutte quelle sciocchezze sul fatto che l'amore è come una droga, l'amore ti fa volare alto, sono falsità. L'amore dovrebbe sostenerti, come la terra."

I am lonely, of course. I’m so lonely I could make a map of my loneliness. In my mind it looks like South America, colossal, then petering out to a jagged little tip. Sometimes I’m so lonely I’m not even on that map.
