I have 7hrs left on this, but I don’t have it in me 😪

“If you wanna concern yourself with humanity, you can start with being concerned about yourself. If that’s not enough for you, let’s see, you can think about the people you know…

So then, if you and the folks you know are doing well and having fun, that’s gotta be enough. You can’t get around to doing more than that, and if you get it in your head that you can, maybe you’re overreaching a little.”

“You deserve every star in the galaxy laid out at your feet and a thousand diamonds in your hair. You deserve someone who’ll run with you as fa and as fast as you want to. Holding your hand, not holding you back” 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

I too have the desire to gouge some eyes out. But my own because a coworker twice my age complimented my eyes. This book seems to be a totally different vibe though.

I’m starting to think birds are real 🤔

So far so much fun (in a sad way)
The writing eerily sounds like my inner monologue 🤔

The rats have Sevro 🐀

(spoilers)

I might be lucky to be alive considering how stupid I was and how easily things could have turned. I should not have got in that car with a strange man I didn’t really know, and who was also my boss. I felt sorry for him, was trying to please everyone else but myself, and I didn’t want to walk home at night in case I got murdered by a stranger, but being murdered by someone I vaguely knew was ok

Tohru and Kyo having a very serious conversation about Tohru’s mum and their feelings……. And then we have Akito coming out of the bushes with a knife

HYSTERICAL AND WE’RE ONLY ONE CHAPTER IN

WTF

Someone spelling out to me that I don’t need to finish every book I start is what I needed. So I probs won’t be finishing this book 😌

Why are we psychoanalysing why an unwell 81 year old man fainted? And why aren’t we analysing when he admitted the feelings he felt when he first met his wife, were the same he had for his friend but also arch-rival psychoanalyst guy. I don’t think I’m reading this right

I don’t think I get this book. It might help to have some prior knowledge on the topics and the referenced works?

It’s not like you can tackle much in 80 pages but so far the explanations felt shallow and generalised. Maybe if I were a straight privileged white man from the 70’s I could relate more??

Dysfunctional found family in space is the trope I neededdd 🥰🥰🥰

So far this book is really cute 🌸 But it might be more so if I wasn’t also reading iron gold at the same time. I think I’ve read about four different characters getting their heads caved in - and in different ways

😱😱😱

“Do you need to understand it to Iove it? You think it’s beautiful. That’s enough” ☀️

I wouldn’t have picked up this book if it wasn’t a gift. I superficially thought it was going to tell me to work ridiculous hours in order to earn a sense of accomplishment. It wasn’t that kind of girl boss book. I really liked the author’s honesty and awareness of her privilege too. I’m not sure I agree with everything Sheryl says, but her points are open-minded and thought-provoking 🥰
