they’re just normal people 🤷‍♀️

i honestly enjoyed reading the book otherwise i wouldn’t have finished it 

thought abt it and wow this book had me sitting and pondering and slowly realizing they r so me 😹😹

they r so sza normal girl LEIK THAT IS ME i just ugh the struggle of fighting the thought of being a normal person and being able to form normal relationships with people is too real that it had me spiraling and realized i am fr not a normal girl and is there hope? 

the book taught me that there uhm perchance is hope? 🥲😅 

fr tho this book had me thinking
and reflecting on my own life and as someone who related with their minds consistently throughout the book leik everything was explained to a tea and it’s just so unbelievably and heartbreakingly relatable and i love and hate that tbh 

the ending is so nuanced, strange, questionable that it leaves a lot to the reader to think abt and i find that just so engaging and powerful 

not only am i forced to read further into the book i started to connect things my own personal life and basically I’m saying the book for me inspired many thoughts of reflection for me 

loneliness man it’s an odd subject
