y’all out there romanticizing the shit outta Netflix’s You, for some reason purposefully ignoring that the literal point of the show is to not unrealistically romanticize shit and also for some reason forgetting that the protagonist is a literal sociopath who justifies being a stalker and, like, grossly invading and controlling his target’s life (also he kills people)
this show is insaaaane
“But it didn’t break me. Nothing can break me unless I let it.”
- Rainbow Rowell, Fangirl
“I realized these were all the snapshots which our children would look at someday with wonder, thinking their parents had lived smooth, well-ordered lives and got up in the morning to walk proudly on the sidewalks of life, never dreaming the raggedy madness and riot of our actual lives, our actual night, the hell of it, the senseless emptiness.”
— Jack Kerouac, On The Road (1957)
“How exquisitely human was the wish for permanent happiness, and how thin human imagination became trying to achieve it.”
- Toni Morrison, Paradise
