Interesting insight to this relationship that molded Kafka for his entire life

..... idek what to say tbh....every emotion, experience and memory he wrote about made me feel like I was reading MY personal notes from my notes app lmao (iykyk) so yea ..it definitely reopened some old wounds hah
I even tried to annotate it but couldn't form a single sentence or the tiniest comment because it just felt too personal as if I was commenting on my own emotional trauma or well..kafkas' (it is after all NOT a fictional story that he wrote about but his real life and experiences)
let's just say I'll totally read more of his work

anyways what else can I rate this other than 5 stars, I don't even think this can/should be rated tbh but yea here we are

Even inside the hut I felt a miserable specimen, and what’s more, not only in your eyes but in the eyes of the whole world, for you were for me the measure of all things. 

My writing was all about you; all I did there, after all, was to bemoan what I could not bemoan upon your breast.

Nothing alive can be calculated.

Devastatingly vulnerable. 
My heart aches knowing this never reached his father’s hands.

so much insight into why kafka is the way he is. he’s so expressive, and you can really see, even in this letter to his father, the most un-confrontational way to address something i feel (less scary than in person), kafka still feels he has to be wary of how he words things as so not to upset his father. he is still that scared child…..anyway feels weird to rate this letter. the fact that his father never read it i feel sad
