"Dear old world," she murmured, "you are very lovely and I am glad to be alive in you."

So, I have to listen to something in order to fall asleep because I'm a ball of anxiety, and lately I've been listening to Rachel McAdams narrate Anne of Green Gables (and she does an AMAZING job, btw). So I'm laying in bed trying to go to sleep when I get to the end, and let me tell you, I cried like a BABY. It definitely did not help me sleep that night😅 (Side note: I think I should add a tag "Books that have made me cry" because this is just getting ridiculous at this point?? I feel like I need to start keeping track🤣)

Anyway this book is now beloved to me, and I firmly believe everyone should read it in their lifetime; excuse me while I go read the rest of the Anne Shirley saga and cry some more!

Also, I want my house to have a name like Green Gables, or Orchard Slope. Why did we stop doing that??
