So i have been on a mission to read books to figure out why i am kind of bad at the love thing and i am learning SOOOO much!!! this healing was so needed tbh i had kind of let things get to me and affect how i was treating people (romantic and platonic) and i want to do better. this book really solidified things in my head but also held me in a caring way. I have many more books in the chamber but i already feel so held accountable and so honest with myself it’s great

idc how basic this is, this book actually made me uncomfortable at first bc i realized i wanted to shut the fuck up and be a better person. i refer to it like the bible and force it on anyone like an evangelist. anyone who’s woo-woo minded like me will appreciate hearing about love as the important thing that it is while learning a new definition of it that restructures your life

I have bought this book for over 6 people as gifts and every single person has told me it has truly changed their lives. I cannot begin to explain the transformative potential this book holds for everyone who reads it. It’s exceptionally written and holds so many kernels of truth which give you so many “ah hah!” moments. That fact alone makes it worth a read. However, genuine fore-warning that it will make you question everything you have been taught & told to absorb as universally applicable and transcendental.

we make silly mistakes and have regrets and they hurt our pride and it’s awkward yeah sure ok but hear me out:
sometimes what we are looking for (in any context) lies in revisiting, refining, reliving, remembering. or it lies in the process of doing so. it’s something i’ve been reckoning with recently.
if something we learned from the past made us feel something, what can we pull from it? can it be resurrected? or made better? or can we use that feeling elsewhere?
sorry for the conceptual philosophical rec that I’ll forget writing but i won’t be able to go to bed unless i write this itchy thought down somewhere

“Once I get my body right/my money up/my skin cleared up, it’s over for y’all!”
And if you don’t do any of that, cool! That doesn’t make you any less valid!
Things take time. We only have so much of it in this life and we spend too much of it thinking about ourselves. Forgive yourself.
Forgiving ourselves for being where we are in the present moment frees up mental capacity for us to more meaningfully engage in the world and live outside of our own thoughts.
And that’s what feeds our souls. Not looking or being perfect.
