I finished reading It Ends With Us. That last sentence of the epilogue choked me up and brought tears to my eyes. Damn.

I just got home from watching The boy and the Heron, and all I can say is it was a enchanting masterpiece!

After my class today I walked from campus to the mall, stopped in at Starbucks and finally finished She is a Haunting by Trang Thanh Tran. Also please look how cute the skeleton bookmark my friends gave me is 🖤
I loved this book so much, my favorite bits to read were these little sections scattered between the chapters, and it had such a killer opening!
I dropped off my old books and picked up a couple new ones at the library and I'm excited for these next few! I'm on 13/30 for my reading goal this year, so a bit behind but I think I'm going to catch up pretty quickly especially now I've also gotten a different book I really wasn't enjoying out of the way.

So I read this ^ awesome book this week about a troop of secretly-Jewish immigrant British Commandos who kicked arse in WWII. Some of the stories in this are incredible! (one guy's in particular needs to be made into a movie; it had me in absolute floods of tears, worth a read for that alone.)

read literature. be present. make love. make tea. write a poem. cry. watch a sappy movie that makes you want to throw things at it. paint your nails. cook something. call your best friend. learn an instrument. wonder. take a bath. go for a walk. lie down on the grass. listen to the entirety of ur favorite album from 2016. take pics of sunsets. ponder. shamelessly dance in your room. curl up on your bed. make endless wishes to the stars twinkling in the midnight sky. think about nothing. think about everything. think about things so hard that you barely remember what happened moments ago and why you’re feeling the way you do

remembering someone’s name after a single mention, listening without interrupting, being funny without being mean, being unafraid to chase your passions, holding yourself accountable, being kind without being a doormat, compassion, being open to learning even if you already know so much, taking risks & making mistakes
