theo literally a few pages after kissing his best friend: i fucking hate my dog he makes me looks so gay
thinking about how theo used boris’ home phone number as the passcode to the locker where he (thought he) kept the goldfinch painting aka the physical manifestation of his heart... so every time he went to see the painting he would have to think about boris... donna you really crossed a line with that one... !
Um…those who do not move cannot feel their chains tbh….
mrs barbour: what have u been up to :’)
theos mind: [dont say getting addicted to opioids dont say getting addicted to opioids]
theo: dealing antiques :-)
I love when people are explaining something and they go “stay/walk with me” bc now I’m so with you we’re energetically holding hands keep going girl
yeah im good the light has left my world though
december will make you go insane if the passage of time is something that scares you
learning that people want you in their lives is a skill you can develop if it does not come naturally
"More than anything I was relieved that in my unfamiliar babbling-and-wanting-to-talk state I'd stopped myself from blurting the thing on the edge of my tongue, the thing I'd never said, even though it was something we both knew well enough without me saying it out loud to him in the street—which was, of course, I love you."
– The Goldfinch, by Donna Tartt
