I wonder if Jesus Christ looks at us and shakes his head in utter disappointment at times for what humans were able to create under “His name”… for the “greater good”… LMAOO

Really interesting to learn about how different indigenous cultures honored the four-seven elements that we are surrounded by each day. I also think that if everything is made up of feminine and masculine energy, then *THE DIVINE* like the ultimate power… could be both “man” and “woman”. Maybe God is a woman after all 😏

Omg. Just a couple pages left from the introduction, and that alone is already eye opening for me. I unknowingly did not know brutal and disgusting history behind Christianity. It never occurred to me to look more into it and I am shocked. The fact that our indigenous ancestors were treated with such horrific cruelty breaks my heart and throughout the intro, you start to see how this all goes into play right now..

Forgot to update but MY HEARTTTTTT 😭 my girl Frankie is just trying to make it by in a world filled with sexism and classism. It’s crazy that this wasn’t even that long ago and yet we still haven’t come that far. Not to mention our society built by men today still downplays the voices and opinions of women.

It’s definitely incredible to know that somehow and someway, different religions come down to having similarities with one another. I like how in the beginning the author makes its comparisons between the Christian/Catholic realm and Paganism. Jesus was a magician and I firmly stand by that. Especially growing up Catholic, I mean everything screams witchcraft 😂. P.S thank you Steph for this book! <3

It’s crazy how little information we know about women doing their part in wars because society mainly focuses on what men do. Especially as nurses… Lord knows I couldn’t do that career so, now I have EVEN MORE respect towards people in healthcare!

Listening to this makes me realize that I think I finally found a favorite author and that I LOVE historical novels 🤠 my girl Frankie out here serving in Vietnam 🫰🏼 also I found it funny how a surgeon was drinking and smoking weed lol I said okay purr

My poor Julia :’( I find myself having personal beef with her mom because she’s SO hard on her!!! 😔😔 Even if the book doesn’t completely talk about her parents background, I mean knowing that they’re undocumented immigrants, I can see how that trauma of crossing the border affects people and shapes them to become very protective. But damn let my girl live!!

Damn y’all, we really don’t take in consideration of how much our brain does for us… Literally every. Single. Thing. We. Do. Also, psychiatrists NEED to include brain imaging in their practice!!! It explains why people with major depressive disorder or any other mental illness, will not always respond to the same treatment. It’s because we all have different activity IN OUR BRAINS!!!!

It’s very disheartening to see Julia’s mom be so against her, it upsets me very much even though she’s not my mom 😭 This makes me realize that a lot parents want to accomplish their dreams & fulfillments through their children and as bad as it sounds, that just isn’t going to work out. This problem is mainly seen in collectivist culture, like Mexico.

I love how my expressions go from 😔 to 😗 to 🧐 and finally ended on 😭😵‍💫🤢
My poor Julia is struggling with boundaries and I find myself being in her shoes despite us having different life situations. I feel upset when she has to do things because she doesn’t want to make the situation worse or anger others.

Oooohhhhhh lord have mercy fuck Julia’s family (atm) !!! She’s just trying to get by 😭😭😭😭😭

How ironic of me starting this book today and I get into an argument with my dad …. Now I finished three chapters with the feeling of beating up my dad 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Damn this book got me reflecting about the toxic households we all collectively live in, especially in Hispanic households…
The next time some dumb hoe wanna say some racist shit, ITS ON SIGHT !!!!!!

This makes me hate war even more! War sucks!!
