i haven't cried so so much while reading a book in a while, and yet here i am. brimming with tears because of THIS BOOK 😭😭😭

i'm reading an ebook version of it and i only read one whenever i'm commuting and my eyes just kept glistening with tears as this is just so... genuinely heartbreaking, touching, and hopeful at the same time that it's making me emotional

‘Just as there are heartbreaking memories that need to be erased if you want to move forward, there is also the pain that is a kind of fuel that keeps you going. Sadness can sometimes give you strength.’

‘If only I could take out my mind, wash it thoroughly, and stick it back in,’

‘Wouldn’t we be happier if we could shed all these painful memories? It’s precisely because our minds are unwell that we keep trapping ourselves in unhappy thoughts. Yet we still go about our lives – working, eating, meeting friends – as if everything’s fine. Just as I’m smiling but crumbling on the inside. If only the pain were gone, maybe life would feel possible again.’

‘You know what? Our minds can also show signs of wear over time. Mine’s worn so thin that it might disappear at any moment.’

‘Yeah, I get you. What’s the point of living anyway? It’s all meaningless.’ Jaeha wondered why he existed at all. What was it like to love life, to feel as though every day held something hopeful? He would love to experience that for once.

‘I get out of bed because my eyes are open and I keep going because I’m alive. Don’t you feel the same?’

yeah... i feel the same as you guys 😔🥀

interesting story about superpower so far. looking forward to seeing how it goes. loving the magical realism vibe it’s giving.
