it can be tempting to live your life like a prequel. to live as if you’re setting up your own story.and once you lose the weight, once you have the money, once you graduate school, once you’re in a real relationship, once, once, once. then finally, you’ll begin to live, and everything you do up until that point is some kind of half-life, some unimportant foreword you can skip. don’t do this. inhabit your life completely. sink fully into the wealth of your existence. the power to manifest is in the fearless owning of who you are, so that you can shape where you’re going.

The Goldfinch is great because sometimes Theo’s narration has glittering, lovely things, like “I had the epiphany that laughter was light, and light was laughter, and that this was the secret of tge universe,” or “it’s all perfectly true, and I don’t believe a word of it,” but then also points where his narration is just “(what?)”, and dialogue like the iconic “Boris, what the mother fuck” TWICE. If that’s not an accurate representation of a human mind idk what is
