My heart is broken.
All because of a fucking book.
A book.
Like. What the hell.
It's been 2 days and I'm still thinking about the story. My heart legitimately hurts. I should've known that angst stories do this to people but this is the first time I've felt so broken. "Angst with a happy ending" my foot. I literally wept myself to sleep for the rest of the day.
Kept thinking about it throughout the entire day's lectures.
Raury's CPU lyrics totally speak my mood now:
"My heart's been punctured.
I'm dysfunctional."
Now let me go to the corner of my mood palace and wallow in sorrow on my own.
The power of words indeed.

I've been reading many books lately. Looking back, it's amusing how all the books I've read the past 3 weeks have been about neurological/psychological problems. Honorable mention goes to The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat. This was recommended by a GP and the title intrigued me. It was fairly interesting, especially the recount of the man's disinhibition. I can't remember his diagnosis but I'm banking on fronto-temporal dementia. The man was cool though, describing common objects (eg. gloves, rose) without having any idea what they were. It was as though he was looking but not really seeing/processing, preferring to identify them by touch like the blind. But the writing style was bland, not the kind of style I would love.
Another GP (my favorite GP to date) recommended Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte. I've read it many years ago, but I read it again recently because I'd forgotten the plot. A classic indeed.
My boy (let's call him B), recommended many books, some of which I've read many years ago. I was pleasantly surprised to find out he's a fan of Haruki Murakami's books. Norwegian Wood, Kafka On the Shore are both great books. He recommended Snakes and Earrings by Hitomi Kanehara too, but I was like "uhh boy, LMAO." I've only watched the movie so I might just decide to read it one day. The book that I'm currently most interested in is The Noonday Demon by Andrew Soloman? It's about depression and this topic has intrigued me deeply this year, having met so many people with depression and other psychological problems. Definitely on my reading list. The rest of his recommendations were really dark books. I'll get to them after The Noonday Demon, I guess. I don't have that much spare time to read books anyway.
B also recommended several songs. Tbh it's the first time I've met anyone with the exact same taste in music as I do. But those songs I shall keep secret just because I like to feel special, y'know -insert smug face-.
Speaking of taste in music, I'm so glad I have a friend I've known since 2007 (omg 10 years!!) with whom I share very similar taste (in non-English music). A friend with whom I don't have to talk to often but it's never awkward when I hit her up. She has seen my jump from idol to idol, chided me for wasting money on them, and probably rolled her eyes a million times when I spam her with random links from time to time. Haha, I'm not sorry. :D Any song she recommends, I find I end up loving it. That 79 episode historical chinese drama though... Reminds me of how lacking my Chines-ing skills are lol.
Okay, anyway, everyone, please read The Noonday Demon because my boy says to.
