I read up till the 2nd book from the Twilight trilogy. and, I have to stop for now because it’s making me remember what sadness and lost feels like. a hole in the chest and a lump in the throat. when there is physically no lumps and no holes. and there used to be a long time when there was nothing that I could do about it.
“It was a crippling thing, this sensation that a huge hole had been punched through my chest, excising my most vital organs and leaving ragged, unhealed gashes around the edges that continue to throb and bleed despite the passage of time.”
from New Moon by Stephenie Meyer.

Maryam, I enjoyed reading all 3 books very much, finished reading the 3rd one recently. They were better than I expected.
Yeah, it was horrible, except that I knew what I had lost. Wait a min, you’re using present tense, u r going through that now?
