today’s passage: mostly speaks of kitty on her time away in germany with her mom and her dad
faking it, aren’t we all? it’s really easy to trick yourself or convince yourself of things, especially when they are new. a lot of cool descriptive words and dialogue today, especially between kitty and varenka. I can relate to kitty, trying to get away from something, trying new things out and then finding that wasn’t who she is or wanted at all. we’ve all been there in our transitional or painful phases, but i’ve also been finding that just letting yourself feel what you want to feel has also been extremely liberating. we all need to kind of figure it out for ourselves so we can “take our place” in this world, however small or large that space is. small fish, big pond.
