I just saw your post about the 3 books that an anon asked and surprisingly i have read them all and was jsut wondering what your favorite books are?
Sorry it’s taken me so long to reply; this question really got me thinking lol. I take back what i said earlier, Prince of Tides is definitely a favorite.
On the road - jack kerouac. Still haven’t finished it yet. I like it bc it’s american and real and beautifully documented.
This ones kind of a doozy… Im obsessed with the alex cross mystery series by James Patterson xp
Right after I post this I’ll probably think of 5 more books that are my favorites.
“You either like me or you don’t. It took me Twenty-something years to learn how to love myself, I don’t have that kinda time to convince somebody else.”

“Thank you, Lord. Just, thank you. You are truly good and beautiful and amazing. Thank you.”

“How very odd, to believe God gave you life, and yet not think that life asks more of you than watching TV.”
—John Green, An Abundance of Katherines (via baristasarah)
Rising in Love →

“In fact a mature person does not fall in love, he rises in love. The word ’fall’ is not right. Only immature people fall; they stumble and fall down in love. Somehow they were managing and standing. They cannot manage and they cannot stand – they find a woman and they are gone,They were always ready to fall on the ground and to creep. They don’t have the backbone, the spine; they don’t have that integrity to stand alone.
A mature person has the integrity to be alone. And when a mature person gives love, he gives without any strings attached to it: he simply gives. And when a mature person gives love, he feels grateful that you have accepted his love, not vice versa. He does not expect you to be thankful for it – no, not at all, he does not even need your thanks. He thanks you for accepting his love. And when two mature persons are in love, one of the greatest paradoxes of life happens, one of the most beautiful phenomena: they are together and yet tremendously alone; they are together so much so that they are almost one. But their oneness does not destroy their individuality, in fact, it enhances it: they become more individual.
Two mature persons in love help each other to become more free. There is no politics involved, no diplomacy, no effort to dominate. How can you dominate the person you love? Just think over it. Domination is a sort of hatred, anger, enmity. How can you think of dominating a person you love? You would love to see the person totally free, independent; you will give him more individuality. That’s why I call it the greatest paradox: they are together so much so that they are almost one, but still in that oneness they are individuals. Their individualities are not effaced – they have become more enhanced. The other has enriched them as far as their freedom is concerned.
Immature people falling in love destroy each other’s freedom, create a bondage, make a prison. Mature persons in love help each other to be free; they help each other to destroy all sorts of bondages. And when love flows with freedom there is beauty. When love flows with dependence there is ugliness.” — Osho

2. prince of tides- had to read for hs but i was pleasantly surprised by it. it’s a long and emotional read but worth it
3. the road- short and gritty. esp good if you like post-apocalyptic kinda reads

Every month or so, I start to get these overwhelming, suffocating feelings of feeling too comfortable. Ironic right? I feel like my life is too… well, calm. There is nothing that I feel passion for. Even the bad kind like hating something. And sometimes, I wish that I could hate something as bad as that sounds. I just want to feel something. There used to be a flicker of spontaneity in me. Or at least I think so. I never second-guessed myself in my actions or questioned my motives; I just did and moved and felt. Now, I pre-determine and re-examine every word that tumbles from my mouth and every movement I make. It’s quite exhausting. There is always this listlessness that lingers above me, always hovering and shadowing. I just miss that feeling of being alive and happy and actually worrying about things. I want to worry and hate and envy because that means I actually care about something. Apathy can truly leave you in ruins, and it really is better to hate something with all your might rather than feel nothing- no remorse or anger or jealousy- than nothing at all.
