all of my little a little life friends you are going to LOVE all of us strangers
“Willem”, I ask you, “do you feel like I do? Do you think he was happy with me?” Because he deserved happiness. We aren’t guaranteed it, none of us are, but he deserved it.”
woah careful now. you might end up getting an order from a law professor for bacteria cookies for his wife
okay but getting to see the real bacteria cookies was awesome
quote that blasted me across the room first time I read it
Just saw someone on Instagram say closing a little life by hanya yanaghihara feels like losing a close friend because of how real all the characters feel and it’s exactly how it felt to finish it for the first time
yeah jude u right it was a miracle to survive the unsurvivable
it’s like have you ever heard of real life before. so many people kill themselves, and the fact that the book isn’t wrapped up in a neat little bow of beginning, conflict and resolution like most books does not mean jude is bad representation. it demonstrates an anti brain function ideology that actually makes me go crazy… say you didn’t like it because you want everyone to be happy ever after! guess what! suicide doesn’t make sense, and thousands of people never get a happy ever after.
people in the a little life tag being like "jude st francis is bad representation because there is no moral resolution for his trauma" i am BEGGING you to shut the fuck up
A LITTLE LIFE.
okay seriously what music do we think jude liked/would like

ELLIOTT SMITH.
