Day 17: Favourite quote from your favourite book.
This was SO hard to choose from!! But I managed to narrow it down to one, amazingly.
“Despite your best efforts, people are going to be hurt when it’s time for them to be hurt.” –Haruki Murakami, Norwegian Wood.
The quote I’ve shared is something that I have become intimately associated with over the course of the past few years, and I believe in it with every ounce of my being. Sometimes, people need to get hurt to grow up and move forward, particularly when they need a lesson in their own fortitude, which oft times they don’t even realise they have.
Thank you so much for visiting me today. Until next time, keep reading and keep otakuing. 💜

Beautiful quote, despite it being a bit sad at the same time 😪I have seen the movie for this one as well. It was pretty good 😀

Film was good but didn’t do the book justice. It’s like one of my fave books of all-time so I could just be biased haha.

Haha…I would probably be the same if it were my own fave book that was put into a movie, so I totally understand 😊

Do you think everything is fated then? Even getting hurt?

I don’t know if I’d call it fate, but I do believe that sometimes pain is a necessary way to grow up and obtain strength, or even a means for a person to realise just how strong their fortitude really is. I say this from personal experience and what getting hurt did for me.

I am just tired of getting hurt. I am going through some tough times. This time pain 100, me 0…. So it feels.

I feel you. It’s definitely a struggle. But my experiences have taught me that things do eventually get better. Sometimes it’s just difficult to see that when shit is so bad and has been for long periods of time. I’m going to hope that things look up for you soon. 💜💜
