thinking about noah czerny and how he had to watch as his parents buried their baby boy. and how he played jump-rope with his sisters and how he would call adele at all hours to tell her about his newest ideas and how his creativity was so unique that aglionby celebrated it even years after his death. and how he was murdered, and then he was remembered, and then he was forgotten, but he was okay with being forgotten if it meant he could give gansey another go. and how he loved his friends so much that he gave them all of him, everything he had, and still felt sorry that he couldn’t give them more. and how i was more when i was alive and how you’re enough now and how his friends missed him when he was gone and how that was enough for him.
