Someone Like You - Comments

He could never understand why they even build places like that. Most of the crazy people were secretly brilliant. The only problem was that the sane wouldn’t listen. No one would ever listen. That’s the whole problem of this fucked up world. No one ever listens any more, and no one ever cares.

I knew a girl on heroine once and she said something so much like this that I nearly gasped. You're writing this so realistically and beautifully and I wish I was better at this commenting thing so I could express just how good this is.

From the summary to the part above to It isn’t like Ollie is going to change the world, though. He’s much too lonely for that. and the end, it made me feel something. Agreeing with what they said above, I definitely wasn't expecting drugs. The beginning with the music made me think it was about some average kid at a concert or something and happy, but the transition was so harsh and real. I hope you continue.

Because mentally he was perfectly fine, as long as he was taking his sweet candy. He just needed someone or something around, something else then these things he keeps injecting into his blood. Maybe another soul. Maybe he should get a fish he could talk to everyday. But wouldn’t that make him even more sad? You can’t cuddle with a fish. You can’t hold them, like you can with a dog or cat. <3

This should have way more comments. Oh poor Ollie! He needs to find someone soon!

“You are a fish of the deep. Blind and bright. You swim in troubled waters with the fury of the modern era, but with delicate poetry of another time.”

I re-read that again and again and again, simply because it's beautiful and short but still says a lot. It touched my heart; mostly the last sentence. I could close my eyes and say that out loud and it reads so beautifully. Yet, it's more than that. I'm not sure how to explain, I just sat here trying to explain but I can't. All I can say is that I've fallen in love.

(By the way, I've never seen the movie 'I killed My Mother', but when I searched it up, it really grabbed my attention. I hope I get to see it one day.)

I read the prologue and I'm left with a bittersweet taste. It makes me feel excited as him - the dancing, the music - but at the same time it gives off this miserable feeling. First he's enjoying life and everything, but then he's back to nothing. I guess the line that describes him the most is:

He didn’t want to know how messed up he was. But he had to.

Because it makes him human. It makes him real.

I love where this is heading Rowen. It's the crude part of life. I wasn't expecting drugs and a struggling person; in fact, because of the banner, I thought about romance. This really took me by surprise, but in a good way. I love how you write; for some reason I imagine you talking like this. It has this part of you. I noticed when I read the word 'mates' instead of friends. This writing is yours; it's you.

I truly, truly, love this.
