"A whisper...As if I'm constantly being whispered to. Maybe it's sharing the secrets of the universe with me...but I can't tell...Maybe it's giving me stock market tips."

god i love surrealist cinéma. it's like someone sat down and said what if we make baby sensory videos but for adults. sure the imegery and the symbolism and how it all comes together to form a story is impressive but we're just sitting there watching it like a child watching cocomelon. there's a little goblin that awakens and yells OOOOOH PUZZLE and it holds me captive trying to jam what i'm seeing into a cohesive picture

Have you read...
note: If you did not finish but feel you read enough to form an opinion, you may choose a ‘Yes’ option instead of 'Partly' (e.g., Yes, I didn’t like it). Interpret "neutral or complicated" however you like, I intended this category to be a broad option between like and dislike.
I’m thinking of ending things. Once this thought arrives, it stays. It sticks. It lingers. It’s always there. Always.
Jake once said, “Sometimes a thought is closer to truth, to reality, than an action. You can say anything, you can do anything, but you can’t fake a thought.”
And here’s what I’m thinking: I don’t want to be here.
In this smart and intense literary suspense novel, Iain Reid explores the depths of the human psyche, questioning consciousness, free will, the value of relationships, fear, and the limitations of solitude. Tense, gripping, and atmospheric, I’m Thinking of Ending Things pulls you in from the very first page…and never lets you go.

hii, could you do a weaving about the vulnerability of hope? Like how it feels like setting yourself up for disappointment, knowing the ends' not gonna be in your favor but hoping desperately anyways
