Sometimes, on rarest of rare occasions, you find stories that seem as if they were written especially for you. This book was it for me. I have way too many feelings after finishing this book, and honestly I don't think I will ever be finished with it. I want to breathe, sleep and soak this book into my blood. Erin Morgenstern, you've done it again 🖤
I looked up from the Starless Sea to the worst horrors happening at JNU, and the contrast is jarring between the two worlds. If only I could walk through a door into the Starless Sea and lock it forever, stay lost in the Harbor. But truth is,
"It is easier to be in love in a room with closed doors. To have whole world in one room. In one person. The universe condensed and intensified and burning, bright and alive and electric.
But doors cannot stay closed forever."
And even the Harbor was destroyed by the Starless Sea in the end. There is no escape, not really. And no escape truly lasts forever. You might think you have escaped, that you're not affected by what's happening right now, simply because you are tucked away in your universe, but that's a lie. It will come for you too. It always does.
So you can choose to stay blind and deaf, in your own shells, in which case you're as good as dead. Or you can step out and face things for what they are, prove you are a living breathing being.
This post started out as a fangirl post to a book which might possibly be my most favourite ever (yes, Erin, you have made that impossible possible), but ended quite differently, but honestly, I couldn't stay quiet with what's happening.
