The reason I joined Kickstarter was to help kick off a project, it was Jack Cheng‘s These Days book.

I basically laughed at every situation which will most likely happen to me in real life. Laughed whenever Goose laughed. I was smiling whenever I wasn’t gutted or “the sponge inside me is tightened”.

I cried when Connor finally vented, “prance around with your tiara and hold court over your kingdom”.

Here are some of my favorite lines

• Why cling on to things when I already know I’m going to get rid of them?
• It’s through remembering that we’re able to learn about ourselves, to grow.
• How? How could someone who had already lived a life so thick with experience still crave so much? There’s a difference between not caring and knowing what’s important.
• the power in the relationship belonged to the person who loved the other person less, that this imbalance existed in every relationship, that relationships in which two people loved each other equally at all times were impossible
• We share different parts of ourselves to individuals occupied our lives, and few if any of these tenants had lease all the divisions of our being
• Perhaps relationships, whether with strangers, friends, coworkers, lovers, our family, were all predicated on the completeness of once knowledge about the other person.
• Sometimes it’s about what you choose not to read.
• Everyone should live by themselves at least once in their lives.

For some reason, this book reminds me of 500 Days of Summer, probably because of IKEA, not sure. Can’t help but feel the same towards Connor and K as if they were Tom and Summer.
