oh, geez<3 that was so pretty. so descriptive and capturing. i'm in love with the line, "shouting obscenities at the sun". i don't even know why. that's a mighty handsome piece of writing you've got going on there. ♥

Oh
So quiet
Almost like an interruption
Almost like an invasion, but one that's more like a ripple than a full attack
Simply beautiful.

Ugh, your writing is absolutely beautiful. And this piece has such a quiet, calm air around it, like all things are meant to fall into place one day, but not into routine. I don't know, I really liked this. The characters, the way they interact, the bitter taste of Brendon wondering about thirty-fucking-five. "You were never not my favorite" is one way to kill me. "even after twenty odd years, and Brendon still isn’t sure when he’s talking or listening" is another.

That scene, that little mention of them in their bus in there, with the windows open and Brendon yelling shit at the sun. HOLY FUCK. That gave me the most beautiful, I swear, most fucking beautiful picture in my mind and I wish I could take a photograph of it to show you.

And then there's that last line, and I'm fucking sitting here, staring at it. diving head first into uncharted territory, body poised and ready, but never feeling like it has hit the ground. Fuck you and thank you for writing that line. Honestly, it's inspiring on so many levels, you don't even know. ♥

GFKJNEWGPIUEGPOIUGBRFungerjkwhrewkhr4z3lk43. Fucking hell, seriously Roux. How the hell did you do this? It's amazing and I can't find words for this golden-light-living-room-moment except for it's not just a moment but a whole story between the lines. This is so heavy and light at the same time and it makes me smile and for a second I'm not terrified anymore that I'm turning 19 soon but nostalgic for a life that I missed except for I haven't. And maybe this doesn't make much sense to you and for this I apologize, it's just that I'm running out of words and I haven't been good using them anyway lately. Just - be proud of this. It's more than beautiful.
