por que será que dizer um adeus nunca ensina a dizer o próximo? é horrível ver alguém diminuir e aumentar de tamanho dentro de você. além do mais, quando uma pessoa se afasta ela parece se tornar mais verdadeira no momento exato em que parte.

thank you so much for your help with the quotes from aline bei!!! <3

I'm not here to ask for help this time. I only want to share another quote! I hope you don't mind!

"the wind that hit the square was typical of late autumn

and I was a girl

saying goodbye

slowly

to my own childhood

playing, but feeling

the weight of guilt for still playing, the ideal would be

to be taking a shower

with a washcloth

then put perfume

on my body

paint my nails

and then dress as if it were a special occasion.

that's why I played embarrassedly, with a light bulb on my forehead

lighting up

this warning: you aren't supposed to be here."

idk if it's a great translation but I tried my best. I love this book so much and it saddens me that that it has no official english translation. also this is the opening scene of the book! it's a story about family and abandonment and how this girl is coping with her abusive mom and neglectful father's divorce

Absolutely delightful! Thank you so much for sharing this!

Oh, the messiness of growing way beyond one's years

Truly a shame that this book hasn't been translated in a language I know (yet anyway... I am a hopeful person)
