Melina Marchetta's Jellicoe Road has been my bible of late, as Jonah Griggs reminds me very much of a certain someone I know.
In a way, you could say I've been drawing comfort and strength from how familiar Jellicoe Road has become over repeated readings.
Almost like the close friend you no longer keep secrets from - except I can't really confide to mine because I've just come to truly appreciate the brevity of "it's complicated".
I'm both terrified and happy. Anxious - when am I ever not besieged by some form of anxiety anyway? - yet content.
It's a strange but euphoric medley of emotions, which I'll be cradling close to me for as long as I can.
Please don't wake me up just yet if I'm dreaming.
