For summer, I love to dwell in the grotesque. I love books that are so horrible and disgusting that I simply just cannot look away.
One of my top recommendations for this genre is “a certain hunger” by Chelsea Summers.
This book follows a young woman, who is a food critic that absolutely loves her job. She has a taste for the finer dinning, is extremely analytical and smart. But aside from food Dorothy has a taste for something else; love, specifically a string of lovers.
I find this book repulsive, and interesting because it intertwines themes of love and cannibalism and it explains how all consuming love can be sometimes.

Know that just like you, people yearn for connection- I know everyone probably hears this too often but be you; be weird, be honest, have no filter. The people who are suited to you when you’re this version of yourself will find you.
People probably don’t think about you as much as you think, think about a random person right now for example: what was the last embarrassing thing they did that comes to your mind? Exactly. You fixate too much on yourself, the way you interact, the way you are perceived that it ruins your “unfilteredness”. Turn off your brain, compliment the first person you see that you think looks good, ask if you can be friends. do whatever.
The world is truly your oyster.

today i held open the door for an elderly couple and the husband said “thank you so much miss!” with so much shock & appreciation in his voice & on his face, i immediately responded “of course!”
no one should be that surprised to receive a no brainer act of kindness…
get kinder today, right now—not later ! ! !
