5 and 8 to keep you busy :D !
Do you think stories can change lives? Is there a story that has changed yours?
oh absolutely!!! i mean, perhaps not necessarily in a major way but i think it can definitely impact you personally and make you reevaluate your life or how you see yourself/other people.
i don’t know if it necessarily changed my life, but fangirl by rainbow rowell was just so. it hit me so hard?????? because i’ve never ever related to character like i did cath????? as in her relationship with her boyfriend at the start of the book where they’re just together for the sake of it and because it’s what’s expected and she keeps telling herself she really does want to be with him and that this is what a relationship is supposed to be - i’ve been in this exact situation and it was so jarring reading it happen to a character in a book.
and her general demeanour/personality is so so sO similar to mine, everything she was feeling at any given point in the book i was like, “i know. same”
also her complicated relationship with fic-writing vs original work is so me. the way she describes the comfort she feels with writing fic and how intimidating writing her own original work is something i’ve been struggling with for years
i swear to god i didn’t read that book, that book read me
(also where is my levi pls i’m waiting)
