Gentle yet raw. Urgently chaotic yet calm and peaceful. Imaginative yet all grounded in reality. Impermanence, transient existence, interconnectedness, the human struggle to leave behind a mark, different forms of love- so many themes woven together with a creative approach and such beautiful prose. Human existence is so small and insignificant yet somehow there’s a permanence in the way humans connect. This book was a fantastic mindfuck.
Sometimes people and places serve a purpose for a finite amount of time to help you think and grow and love and then you move on.
