Love is not an exchange, love is an art!!!!!
The Art of Loving gives insaaanee insight into how we undervalue love & how we [incorrectly] navigate relationships.
Lots of hard pills to swallow w/ Frommโs theories but I find myself agreeing with most :o
one of my fav works ever ๐๐๐๐๐

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 itโs 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 whoโs 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. Itโs exceptionally written and holds so many kernels of truth which give you so many โah hah!โ 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.

Iโve been going on walks lately & theyโve been helping my mood a lot. Usually this time of year I succumb to seasonal depression (or maybe just my major depression) but Iโm realizing that I donโt have to be JUST sad. I can be sad while doing other things, like walking or writing.
Iโm trying to do things I like & Iโm trying to like who I am, even when I am sad.
