Wasn’t friendship its own miracle, the finding of another person who made the entire lonely world seem somehow less lonely

I want to write I want to write the songs of my people I want to hear them singing melodies in the dark. I want to catch the last floating strains from their sob torn throats. I want to frame their dreams into words; their souls into notes. I want to catch their sunlight laughter in a bowl; fling dark hands to a dark sky and fill them full of stars then crush and mix such lights till they become a mirrored pool of brilliance in the dawn.

'I want to write' by Margaret Walker

Annotating things I use ~

i read the people in the trees by hanya yanagihara and it was really good but also rly twisted.

I’m about halfway through this fantastic novel, and can say that it’s really one of the best books I’ve ever read. It’s been one of my most anticipated reads this year and my expectations were ridiculously high, so I was surpised to find it even better than expected. “A Little Life” so far is raw, hard, soulcrushing, heartbreaking, and oh so incredibly brilliant. I’m drawn in by the characters and the writing in a way I have never been before - I literally can’t even put into words how much I love it. Read it. Please be careful if you’re triggered by quite literally anything, since the book covers such a vast array of really hard topics, but if you can - read it. It’s great. It’s amazing. It’s more than that. It’s a masterpiece.
