Korvira Week: Letters
“That’s what it feels like when I write, like I have this beautiful world in my head, but when I try to remember it in order to write it down, I change it, and I can’t ever get it back…but, somehow, I almost feel like you can see this beautiful world too, and that you understand what it feels like losing it as well.”

“Sometimes when she told stories about the past her eyes would get teary from all the memories she had, but they weren’t tears. She wasn’t crying. They were just the memories, leaking out.”
Two quotes (the first one with a little addition of mine) from one of my favorite books: A Tale For the Time Being by Ruth Ozeki. There is such a beautiful connection between a writer and a reader, most especially if that writer is directing their inner speech directly to the reader in question. It’s almost that, no matter how far away they are (in distance or in time), they can feel each other’s presence imperceptibly, making both feel not so alone.
