Well! This is just the beginning.

Originally, I thought the rhythm was not suitable for me, but after reading it, I couldn't resist the urge to write down something, which inadvertently made me think a lot, which was a small accident. Especially love the strange tone of this narrative.

I read it once, read it again as I wrote it, and liked it more and more.
I like the male protagonist's mother, her character, and the way she gets along with the male protagonist.
I like the loving interaction between dad and his boyfriend, the bugs hidden in his hands, the bunch of flowers, sleeping together.
Like the heroine, from Now You See Me, to the shoes on your feet, to the beginners this time.
Love the dog, the hotel aisle, the male lead's drawings and graffiti, and the female lead's French.
Like...
At the end, it's strange to find myself full of likes.

Three tears, the first was an old man who looked a lot like my father in the aisle of the hotel. The second is Dad's boyfriend holding the dog and crying, he remembers me. The third is the last sentence of my father's friend seeking advertisement, he never gave up. Yes, my tears are so weird.

Favorite lines!
THE HISTORY OF SADNESS
Earth begins, sadness not yet invented. At the beginning of the earth, there is no such thing as sadness.

Quote From The Velveteen Rabbit
The stuffed rabbit asked ,"What is real?"
And the rabbit asked,"Does it hurt?" And the rabbit asked, "Does it hurt?"
And the horse said, "Sometimes."
"Does it happen all at once?" Is pain instantaneous?
"It takes a long time. Generally, by the time you are real, most of your hair has been loved off, your eyes dropped out and you get loose in the joints and very shabby. But these things don't matter at all, because you are real. You can't be ugly except to people who don't understand."
It will hurt for a long time. In short, when you become real, your hair will be torn, you will lose your eyes, and you will be mutilated. But it doesn't matter because you become real and those who don't understand think you are ugly.

Here. Here is simple and happy. That's what i meant to give you
.

Well, my point is weird.

What is the situation now?
I have no idea.
How did that happen?

Is it over?
No!
This is just the beginning.

Beginners quotes

  • Oliver: And what about the chair? Is it gay?

    Hal: The chair is not gay, obviously.

  • Oliver: We didn't know how we learned the stories in our heads, but sometimes they stopped running, and I can really see Anna's eyes in 2003. Her ears. Her feet. This is what it looks like when she says, 'I love you,' in 2003. This is what it looks like when she cries. When she tells me there's always a new empty room waiting for her. They used to make her feel free. Now they make her feel the opposite of free.
