Lauren OliverNow, after so many years, I understand what the Coldness was and where it came fromโthis sense that everything is lost, and worthless, and meaningless.
Lauren Oliver..in that moment i realize how much i love the little everyday routines of my life..the details that are my life's special pattern, like how in handwoven rugs what really makes them unique are the tiny flaws in the stitching, little gaps and jumps and stutters that can never be reproduced. so many things become beautiful when you really look.
