Manufactured peace.
More and more as time goes by the novel Kafka on the Shore seems like such a fitting book for me to read. Being schizoaffective, I am not sure if I hear a voice or not- so I am able to relate to Kafka with Crow. The things Crow says to Kafka also slightly mirrors what I hear/think. I may have made a big mistake today, so the voice is strong again. I wish it wasn’t this way. If I was able to...

"Being bright has nothing to do with it. What...
While I was reading Kafka on the Shore a few days ago, I realized how much it was like Wong Kar-wai’s films. How he ties in the characters and the dialogue. This just made me really happy because I have so much more to learn, and the more I learn the more I appreciate things. Taking things for granted is something I do all too often. I’m only now just learning how to appreciate things,...
