"Acres of disappointment and monotony and hurts and rivalries but with flashes of wonder and beauty. "
On this weeks Topic Tuesday Meredith picks a quote from page 137 of The Midnight Library by Matt Haig.
“Maybe that’s what all lives were, though. Maybe even the most seemingly perfectly intense or worthwhile lives ultimately felt the same. Acres of disappointment and monotony and hurts and rivalries but with flashes of wonder and beauty. Maybe that was the only meaning that mattered. To be the world, witnessing itself. Maybe it wasn’t the lack of achievements that had made her and her brother’s parents unhappy, maybe it was the expectation to achieve in the first place.”
