Burning Eyes and a Pretty Mouth

"I wanted it to be you, I wanted it to be you so badly."

"It's been a while since I've heard from you. I'm sorry to bring this up because I know we both feel awkward about it, but I haven't forgotten the things you told me when we were in Italy, and I hope you know that none of those things are your fault, and there is nothing wrong with you. You are a good person, and I say that as someone who really knows you. Just because people treat you badly at times, and I include myself in that, by the way, it doesn't mean you deserve to be treated badly. A lot of people love you and care about you." -Connell Waldron

This scene. Jesus Christ, Normal People fucked me up in the best way.

I love reading the first chapter of a book and knowing that it is absolutely 100% about to destroy me and reframe the way I look at the world
