I would like to be done yea but it’s doing what it needs to do for the mind

Ok I was liking it but now it’s starting to give she’s romantizing their trauma and addictions for the sake of this being romance book and I don’t loveee that. Tia doesn’t provide enough context for me to feel like Shane and G’s relationships is geneuine and intentional like I know it probably is for these characters but I can’t tell from the way this author writes ugh but I’m invested ugh

Feel same as before

Incredible so far. Deeply passionate and real

Very hard to read the way he talks is so antiquated but he’s saying realllllllly good things

“In all human affairs, their efforts, and there were results, and the strength of the effort is the measure of the result.”

Liking it more it more it’s getting good and clicking specifically and simply articulating the importance or mental fortitude for those who have a purpose.

I’ve been struggling clearly lol to read or read a book and finish it. I want to finish this first before alchemist. It’s not an enjoyable read but Michael Jackson apparently recommends it

Not enjoying it so much I feel like he gets so descriptive for no reason. Not really resonating with the cheaters of the barely developed story ofc I want to

Very helpful

Happy I’m reading a story. Quite the story so far, love that it’s in ct involved me in my life respects my nostalgia

Absolutely engrossed already can’t wait to read more about my heart

The audre lorde chapter was incredible. About being a woman specifically black woman with cancer and concerns about her life in general wow

Books getting better n better rn. Life is just moments no matter how many epoepk say to enjoy it rn the moments ends it passes “but I felt joy. This is joy” idk I liked that. Amongst other things. Interesting book

I don’t think I want to be controlled anymore let’s do everything one can to get that back with joy in my heart and a steady peace

I like the “he who seeketh findeth. Knock and it shall be open quote.
He’s extremely repetitive.
Talking about examining your thoughts for h th e better. And to think good thoughts

Very interesting…incredibly off putting but I’m curious of this man thinks. I wanted to read a book where lustful observations are had because that’s so incredibly human. I don’t like anything he says that degrading about woman like it feel clear to me he doesn’t se woman as his equal and that’s unsettling lol but I’m curious o about hai perspectives aabat desires and he has many of those

Sometimes this book hits but sometimes it is. Boring just read the Florence chapter beautiful haunting. I’d like dolly to go deeper this book is a little surface level for the content the truths revelations she’s walked away with don’t hit me as hard as I’d like. It’s taken me a while to read

This book is so perfect that Kathleen’s ability to articulate so precisely how it feels to be black, especially a black woman is her weakest quality

I want it to get deeper

I don’t relate to her teenage yes the careless drinking at all. I wish I did. Very different upbringings I wish I got to be that free at that age I was so strict and felt so constricted my goodness. Literal opposites. I did relate to wanting to just “grow up” have “your own” everything and how she wasn’t fit to be a teenager and kind of hated it-I did too. Felt like I didn’t live those years right

I really really don’t get the absolute hype around this book. It’s uh, it’s not doing it for me . There are moments that are so poignant here reglections cut so deep and are so unique and stark but that happens every 40-60 page the rest feels like sometimes very -interesting world building or just blasé filler commentary 🤷🏾‍♀️

She with Sam Shepard I like how they met that’s cool. I love that moment she had with jimmy Hendrix right before he passed- “ I want all the Mahican’s in one rooms an we naur make noise until it become some big symphony.”

Sometimes enjoyable sometimes boring still. They’ve left the Chelsea hotel. I love reading about who Patti bumps into her getting her androgynous haircut and not knowing it was so interesting me. Don’t underestimate the power of a haircut fortunately but also fortunately why do we all care so much. But yea I get treated soooo differently depending on my hair too. Also the guy asking for her to write? Interesting

It’s really good my pain came back in my head my headaches have come back after being better after a week and I find myself getting sad and fustateted to the point where is hard to even cry. But I’m going to try again ofc. Resilience means literally less fear. It’s not easy but it is simple, I gotta accept this thing. I can and will be pain free achieving my dreams

It’s helping me so much but it’s so interesting I feel this sense of shame that I’m expediting chronic pain like it makes me Uber abnormal and inconsequentially unattractive. The fact that I believe this lie is heartbreaking to me, I’m working on not believing it. But I even notice how hard it is for me to let people read the title
Of the book in public like I don’t want them to see I’m reading this book
