it's okay to fight creatively if how you once fought was not sustainable, society teaches us to fight individually but we need to fight collectively

Identity is becoming. Identity is intersectional.

reading theory takes a lot of mental energy for me so I was bored

“what is true of all exile is not that home and love are lost, but that loss is inherent in the very existence of both“

Virgin Suicides | Jeffrey Eugenides
Pickpick

I initially only picked this out because the cover was aesthetically please (yes i will always judge a book by its cover) and i ended up loving it
i really liked how throughout the whole book we knew what the ending would be but there was so much suspension to find out how it happened so i wanted to sit and read to see how it did
as someone with adhd it‘s always been hard for me to want to finish books but this was no problem

Verity | Colleen Hoover
Pickpick

HOLY CRAP i haven‘t been this engrossed in a book for awhile. I‘m at a loss for words. So disturbing and so good, I couldn‘t put it down. I would go out with my friends and just be thinking of going home to read. The ending makes me question everything like I never have for any book

“you can learn to have grace, and that‘s heaven”
you can tell she‘s a poet while you‘re reading this
the sentences are very short and descriptive
it‘s very inspiring if you want to be a poet yourself

Crying in H Mart: A Memoir | Michelle Zauner
Pickpick

Wow wow wow.
I can‘t count the amount of times I cried while reading this. She explains how it feels to be biracial in America so well like wow
“it was so ironic that I, who once longed to resemble my white peers and desperately hoped my Koreanness would go unnoticed, was now absolutely terrified that this stranger in the bathhouse could not see it.”
This hit too close to home bc Teta is sick and only has 4 months left. Teta is my Uma

took me forever to read probably because i started it when i was hella mentally ill and going through shit
but i took it as a sort of self guide to life
helped me understand how insignificant stressful things are in our everyday lives

Buddha | Karen Armstrong
Pickpick

read this last summer and it influenced my view of the world so much
if you‘re interested in buddhism and need a place to start this is a great book to read it puts the whole philosophy and way of life into modern terms so it‘s great for a translation of buddhist teachings into your life now and how we can find enlightenment in the chaos of today

The Great Believers | Rebecca Makkai

i read this for my death class and wow i learned so much about grief and the process of coming to terms with the loss of so many loved ones i would def recommend to anyone if you are gay or if you aren‘t
a good perspective about aids and it‘s effect on the gay community in chicago also cool cause i live in the street where a lot of stuff took place in this book
