Stuck in love

Feelings are always an indispensable theme in every work, because there are no people without feelings, even if we sometimes scold people for being indifferent and ruthless.

The uniqueness of this work is that it tells a writer's family's emotional concept and emotional processing, which will also become the material of the writer's writing.

Divorced parents:

After his wife derailed and divorced, the author's father became a frequent visitor outside his wife's window, a "voyeur", he loved his wife deeply and believed that his wife would return to him. Because when he cheated, his wife waited for him for 6 months. For the author's father, this is the tacit understanding and tolerance between the couple.

Good boy

The author's father is dedicated to cultivating his two children into writers, and this is where they are interested. The author's father believes that the rich experience before the age of 20 is enough to become the material of the writer's life writing. He encourages the good boy brother to go out in love and play, to enrich his life experience. The younger brother succeeded in catching up with his first love girl. Her experience was richer than him, and the experience was more painful than him. The love of his beloved eventually turned into a waste of years in endless sorrow. Until I received a call from idol Stephen King.

Heroine

Lily is talented and beautiful. In college, she is the angel of many boys, but she is like a hedgehog, not letting any feelings come close, witnessing her mother's derailment experience with her own eyes, making her doubt and reject love until she is quiet The appearance of the elegant and filial boy gradually warmed her heart and made her less cynical.

The three parallel and mutually influencing lines of emotion are relatively plain and unremarkable. There is not much starting, inheritance and transformation, and they can be used to pass the time when they are bored. I like two lines about writing:

I can hear my heart beating, I can hear everyone's hearts, I can hear the human noise we sat there making, Not one of us move, not even when the room went dark.

I remember that it hit, looking at her hurt.

  • Bill Borgens: I could hear my heart beating. I could hear everyone's heart. I could hear the human noise we sat there making, not one of us moving, not even when the room went dark.

  • Samantha Borgens: There are two kinds of people in this world: hopeless romantics and realists.

    Rusty Borgens: Right.

    Samantha Borgens: A realist just sees that face and packs it in with every other pretty girl they've ever seen before. The hopeless romantic becomes convinced that God put them on Earth to be with that one person. But there is no God and life is only as meaningful as you fool yourself into thinking it is. Guys who get laid a lot are realists. You should be listening.
