"People’s lives never stay the same colour forever. There are times when the colour of life changes completely."

in my head, i imagine this book as an anime movie that's really visually pleasing and a tear-jerker in the ending 🥺

All experience adds up to a life lived as only you could. I feel sure the day will come when you can say: this is my life.
