My poor finger! Somewhere between LA and NYC I seem to have banged it a bit and burst a blood vessel.

So I just finished All The Bright Places by Jennifer Niven.. It’s 2.57 in the morning, and I spent the last 44 pages crying. Like, full-on ugly crying. Crying so hard I couldn’t read through my tears.
Not only was it beautifully written, and I got super attached to the characters, but for someone who’s been there, and attempted suicide, and been in treatment for mental illness for the past 4 and a half years.. It was difficult to read. But oh so worth it. I think this book is one of those books that’s going to stay with me, whether I like it or not.
Now I just need tissues, some chocolate, and a cigarette. And a cup of tea, but seeing as it’s almost 3 in the morning, that’s not really an option.
Thank you for reading! I’m so sorry for the tears!
All the bright places
The thing about me is, I dream about death. I am always fascinated on the idea of death. Everyday, I think on ways to die. But I don’t actually try and kill myself. I just think of ways how to die.
I like to jump.
No, I LOVE to jump.
I like the flying feeling when I jump. I feel that I’m invincible and I can do anything. I like standing in high places and just look down and feel superior to everyone.
The reason why I loved this book is because I felt connected to Finch. I felt all his pain.
The feeling of being lost.
The feeling of being alone.
The feeling of being no one.
I never felt being alive. I just exist without an exact reason why.
I am not alive. I am just existing.
I can be gone now and no one will notice.
That’s how I used to think everyday.
And sometimes, I still do.
People might think that I completely lost it, maybe they’re right. Maybe this is just how my mind works.
It’s not that I chose to be like this. I tried so hard to change but sometimes when there is nowhere to go, all I do is go to a high place and just look down.
No, I don’t plan to kill myself.
I don’t want to become a disappointment to my parents, again. So I’m trying to be alive not just existing
And I hope, everyone will do the same.
You are lovely and this is lovely. Thank you for sharing, for reading, and for being a bright place.

“I learned that there is good in this world, if you look hard enough for it. I learned that not everyone is disappointing, including me, and that a 1,257 bump in the ground can feel higher than a bell tower if you’re standing next to the right person.”
