J. Robert Lennon
wrote a new blog post: The End
| |
“She had the scattered feeling she always got when events conspired to mess things up, and nothing exhausted and frustrated her more than a mess she was incapable of fixing.”
― J. Robert Lennon, The Light of Falling Stars
― J. Robert Lennon, The Light of Falling Stars
“What she wanted was really two things: to be elsewhere, and to be somebody else. Or at least a version of herself that had made better decisions, that had thought more clearly. ”
― J. Robert Lennon, The Light of Falling Stars
― J. Robert Lennon, The Light of Falling Stars
“My sister stood up, trembling, and I must admit that I expected her familiar sneer to have taken its usual place on her face. But all I could find there was unhappiness and fear. Fear of my reaction, perhaps. But when a person has lived a life like hers, a life of promiscuity, rootlessness, and substance abuse, resentment and fear tend to replace all reasonable and proper emotions, and the world becomes your enemy.”
― J. Robert Lennon, Castle
