Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close

As many of you know, this novel is one of my favorites of all time. The imagery and emotions portrayed in the words written by Jonathan Safran Foer is simply brilliant and I can’t begin to list off all my favorite quotes. The reason why I bring up this novel today is because I had the pleasure of seeing the movie adaptation. I absolutely loved it. I was hesitant about seeing it because we all know that movies never quite measure up to novels but I was curious as to how they would bring Foer’s story to life. And I believe they really did a wonderful job- much better than I could’ve imagined, considering the topic and length of the book.
There were many negative reviews and criticisms about the movie and I can understand why many didn’t enjoy it as much as I did or felt it was boring/ lackluster. But I think that if these people read the novel, they’d be able to follow better and understand why the plot is slow to build up. Regardless though, I really do recommend this movie to everyone!

I felt, that night, on that stage, under that skull, incredibly close to everything in the universe, but also extremely alone. I wondered, for the first time in my life, if life was worth all the work it took to live. What exactly made it worth it? What’s so horrible about being dead forever, and not feeling anything, and not even dreaming? What’s so great about feeling and dreaming?

Love gets so sexualized in our world. We start to feel like there is no love outside of romantic love. There are lots of wonderful love stories that have nothing to do with sex or romance, and I guess I wanted to write one of those.

You’re lovely today.

Faced away. Tears caught by the creases of a faded pillow. Heart hesitating with every drip, every drop. 

Why is it like this again? When did the past start ripping my mind apart again? What is it that always seems to trigger the loneliness that my soul used to be content with?

Acceptance of the past must be combined with the acceptance of your present and future. Their grip on your heart strings are nothing but air and are only as real and painful as you allow them to be.

It’s all in your head. It’s all in your head. It’s all in your head.

Your heart is beating despite the bruises. Your heart is healing despite the abuse. Your heart is capable of brilliant things if you take care of it. 

So take care, loves. You’re lovely today.
