Holding back tears on a train in the middle of nowhere cos there is a poor assuming man sat next to me.

Nothing crazy just making reevaluate everything in my life and who I want to be and the relationships I want to foster and what it means to love and hurt someone and what I’m trying to achieve through my work and challenging how I think and making my heart ache with bits of pain and appreciation and forgive myself but also recognise harm I might have caused and put my hands up for that and sit with life and be okay

I wanna be her friend so bad.

‘I love you mommy
cause you are beautiful,
and i am life that springs from you:
part tree, part weed, part flower

My roots run deep.
I have been nourished well’

‘I wanted to go
everywhere, do everything, and be everything, all at the same time. I
wanted to experience everything, know how everything felt. I had many
zigzag conflicting ideas rolling around in my head at the same time. One
day i was happy just to be alive and young and moving. The next day i felt
like the world was coming to an end. Everything in my life was jagged,
sharp, unfinished edges’

Nobody in the world, nobody in history, has ever gotten their freedom by
appealing to the moral sense of the people who were oppressing them.

The almighty dollar is king; those who
have the most money control the country and, through campaign
contributions, buy and sell presidents, congressmen, and judges, the ones
who pass the laws and enforce the laws that benefit their benefactors.

‘I have declared war on the rich who prosper on our poverty, the politicians who lie to us with smiling faces, and all the mindless, heartless robots who protect them and their property.’

I’m in AWE of her writing and in awe of her. Cant stop reading

Listening to audiobook, want to make my first video for social media for this book, watch this space 🤨

Started reading this last year but I was depressed and it made me more depressed SO stopped reading it but getting back on it now 👍🏽

But also this book was stressful I disliked reading but that’s the point she’s done so well writing this because of how much anxiety I had reading this I felt sick😍

I nearly finished it but plane got too dark and couldn’t see so had to stop BUT will finish it asap still, got through 2/3 maybe more I think

Will attempt to read this in one go on plane 👍🏽

I really like this book but there is too much good stuff in it for me to remember. Like each sentence is something I could put in speech marks in an inspirational motivational quote book idk how it explain it but it’s too much good stuff lol. Not complaining tho, I love the chapter she wrote about love and speaking the truth. Also thinking about defining love as an action.

Quite a lot to take in and taking my time reading it. Very well written.

Writing is beautiful

Yeah I give up

This book is so beautiful.

I don’t like this I’m giving up on it sorry

If I could do one thing for tom, it would be refer him to mybreakupbestie on Instagram, it’s been so long he seriously needs to move on

This is very interesting but it’s VERY dense, I feel like a lot is going over my head and then I understand some parts of it? But GOOD

You know what I’m sorry but I don’t have the energy left in me for this I give up. I have tried. I HAVE TRIED TO GET THROUGH IT BUT IT DOESNT FUCKING END AND THE CHARCTERS ARE SO ANNOYING sally rooney why did you write this I loved your last book and was ready to love this but, alas, here we are. Goodbye.

BREXIT CHAPTER IS FINALLY DONE, did get more intestine towards the end tho.

Will I ever stop reading this book over and over.
No

Honestly struggling to get through this stuff about brexit, the rest is rlly good tho so far
