Personally I am enjoying this book more as I read it. I feel strangely comforted that the negative feelings and insecurities was covered in this book, so it makes me feel that I am not alone. Though, I can see why people would dislike this book because the “youth” brings up good arguments, but the philosopher would kind of brush him up with a brief explanation of an Adler concept and that is it.

I will not be so bitter anymore about their happiness. Joy is good. Light novels be as hell though because why is there still 120 chapters left?

I been doing a lot of reflecting and I’m not sure I like what has been reflected. I’m aware of my intentions behind my actions. I felt shamed.

Separation of tasks, other people’s opinions don’t matter, and only I can change my life…I DON’T TO. I’M SCARED. I hate this book. I hate it so much. It’s like a slap to the face with each page that I read.

If all issues stem from interpersonal relationships, then there’s only one solution. ISOLATE MYSELF FROM EVERY HUMAN POSSIBLE. Yes yes, that was exactly what Adlerian was going for. Hahahahahahaha.

Today’s portion focused on inferiority and interpersonal relationships. I find myself questioning the philosopher’s words but reminded myself that Adlerian psychology explains why humans may act the way they do. It’s not a solution or a guide. Regardless, I don’t like this book because it calls me out. I am turning a blind eye.

I’m having a hard time reading this because of all the conflicting feelings I have. I don’t think I ever heard of Adlerian Psychology, but man it’s rough. I guess it’s hopeful in its own way, but right now it’s literally attacking me so…I’m done for today

Good gracious, haven’t these kids been through enough? But I do give my props to Count Olaf. Aunt Josephine isn’t my favorite caregiver from the series, but I like her backstory.

Planning to finish this later tonight, BUT when I catch you Lemony Snicket. I read this series when I was in the fourth grade so I didn’t really comprehend what these children were going through, but I understand now AND YOU’RE TELLING ME THEY’RE GONNA GO THROUGH EVEN MORE? THESE POOR CHILDREN FOR 13 BOOKS JUST SUFFER. GOOD HEAVENS. I understand I was warned, but pure evil. Terrible. I’m enjoying it though.

Ngoc Tran is on page 262 of 336 of My Return to the Walter Boys (My Life with the Walter Boys, #2)
Kind of struggled a bit to get through it because lots of fluff for a long chunk of the section, which isn’t bad though I didn’t find it that entertaining. Poor Nathan. I do think Cole should’ve respect Jackie for wanting more time to grieve but girl is also obviously gonna burnt herself soon so she does need that fun he brings her. This Issac plot line better be done when I finish this book.

I wanna know why Quan Millz is reacting with me when he wrote this plot. ALSO ALSO I saw his little attempt to make me feel bad for this pastor BUT THAT MAN IS EVILLLL JUST LIKE HIS WIFE. Pastor Rudolf, I am so sorry that your church has failed you. You poor poor man.

INFIDELITY EVERYWHERE! The church is loaded with money. The leaders of the church are unfaithful. TERRIBLE TERRIBLE. I’ll pray for you Sister Joyce. And congratulations to Keisha.

There’s a lot going on. I feel like there could some social commentary analysis made based on the topics introduced because the main girl is trying to hustle and escape poverty, but her mindset is immature and dangerous. Then there’s the bishop that is admired by his community, but he’s a gay man preying on much younger men in secret when he’s already married to a woman. Very scary. I’m excited to continue.
