This is one of the most beautiful intricate things I’ve ever read. You take such big, existential feelings and put them in beautiful, yet simple words. You make even the most obscure events a relatable, understandable experience (which is extremely hard to do).
I totally felt this, and it's truly wonderful writing. I concur about the uncomfortable shrillness of Wuthering Heights. Your wording is so comfortable and unforced and I really dug some sentences in particular! One that I can't find right now, and then also loved your line "But I couldn’t stand it, the thought of my past self-pleading with me through a screen, all pathetic and sappy and desperate, like she didn’t have anything to do with it at all." It made me smile at how it's so honest and seeing through your own layers. And the conclusion about never having enough reminded me of Amanda Palmer's "In my mind", as it has the same theme, but it also has a beautiful response to that conundrum. I am looking forward to reading more of your writings! <3

great flow & feeling
I am tormented by the exact same things. This was stunning.
