My friend has informed me that he "really doesn't agree with me buying books when I haven't read a bunch of others."

chuck him out

I never recommend A Little Life to anyone. But it isn't tragedy porn to me. I related to Jude a lot and also have a close friend to whom horrific things were constantly happening. So I thought the exploration of whether it is possible for some people to ever heal and find happiness was a good one. And it raises the question of whether it is fair to ask someone to live when they are suffering that badly.

I understand that most people don't face that kind of darkness though, so that is why I never recommend it to anyone. But I wanted to share why I didn't think the book was all for nothing.

I appreciate you reaching out and i'm so incredibly sorry that you and your friend have experienced even a tiny fraction of what Jude went through.

I'm glad to hear this book offered a window into dealing with trauma and exploring whether anyone can heal from that and that it was something in any way helpful to you.

I didn't mean to invalidate anyone's experiences in any way, I just felt that to choose to continue to inflict pain and suffering on a character over and over again felt like too much, and as a reader, it felt downright voyeuristic at times and it made me sick to my stomach.

But if any good can be found by anyone after reading it, then you're right, it was not for nothing. 🤗 any book is a very personal experience and we all find different things, whether good or bad, in the books that we read.

Would you share your routines as far as fitness goes? Like food, exercise, etc.

Of course ☺️

I used to be a lot more rigurous back when I was actively trying to lose weight, and I mostly followed work-outs from Sydney Cummings (you can find her channel on youtube, she has thousands of videos, and she's amazing). I focused on cardio first, then slowly incorporated weight training as well (all from home, I used 2 sets of weights, of 3 and 6kg, and it was enough for me).

Nowadays, when I'm focused on maintaining my weight, I mostly do standing workouts - cardio, hiit and weights - (i have a wrist injury that prevents me from doing floor exercises that require bending my wrist), and I use workouts from Olivia Lawson and Eleni Fit, both youtube. They're super fun, and I can usually watch a show while I do them.

I mostly workout 3 to 4 times a week, generally focus on 30 min workouts, although i do try for 40-60 mins ones as well, when i feel more rested, and i try to get in 10.000 steps on my other days. I do try to take a day a week for full recovery.

I'm not following any sort of diet. I vaguely know my required caloric intake and i try to hover around that number, but i don't stress about what i'm eating and i never deny myself anything.

Let me know if there's anything else you'd like to know ☺️

mary! how are you? sorry to bother you but i need to talk about something with someone and for some reason i feel comfortable with you

so i've been dating this guy for like 8-9 months now, he's a great guy, very funny, interesting and so on but he did something that annoyed me and i think i'm done with this situationship. one day he said he was waiting for me to ask him to be my bf, another day when i asked him he said he wanted to say yes but that i should ask him other time (fair enough, we were going through an eventful news and we were distracted by that) and then one day he said he doesn't see me as his gf. when i confronted him about this he explained that he wants me in his life, that he wants more with me but he wants to take it slow so he can do things right. i swear i felt like he was fooling around with me

the other thing is that i suspect he still has feelings for his ex. they broke up years ago but are still good friends but after some time i realized that she's his weakness, a very important person in his life, she gets along with his family and i saw a few things he wrote last year that and a dream he had recently that makes me believe he still has feelings for her

honestly at this point i'm done with this shit going on. yesterday i realized that i don't love him and haven't done so for a month now. i care about him but after what i wrote in the first paragraph i think everything with him is bullshit. i don't know what to do mary, never been through such a thing before :(

girlie run, run like the wind

i'm being dramatic, but i swear that the people who actually want to be with you don't wait for the perfect moment or opportunity to make things official, they put in the effort and energy and don't wait around

you deserve someone who is sure of you and you deserve someone you actually love ❤️

What would make you happy with yourself?

With myself? I don't think there's anything, i haven't really liked myself in a long time. What would make me happy? To just be at peace and to live a simple life. Away from cities and the rush of everything and the struggles of living in a society.
