young, broke and beautiful RSS

my name is daniela and i'm from the best city in the world, though nine months out of the year i live here. i like non-awkward hugs, hanes white v-necks, american apparel, and making people laugh. i'm surprisingly funny too. you'd like me.

some of my favorite things include reading, listening to music, taking pictures and getting emails figuring out exactly what I did last weekend.

So I just finished reading The Namesake, a little less than under a day after I started reading it. It was actually kind of depressing, but interestingly written. The saddest parts of the story were written kind of casually, as if the author was just explaining how someone had made tea and then read a book before going to bed. But then it’d jump to going into details and dialogue of the event, and then just passing it by as if it wasn’t that important. Clearly, being me, a lot of the parts made me cry, only because it was things I could relate to happening in my life. The foreignness of not feeling at home anywhere, having an extended family who wasn’t all blood or marriage related, and after trying to hard to reject everything, going back to it because it’s so comforting. I’ve only slightly come to doing the latter, but it’s getting there. Being away from home for so long makes you happy to have a different culture to come back to. I really want to go see the movie now, especially since Kal Penn plays the main character.
