YOU KNOW HOW you can read a book at one point in your life and get something out of it, and then reread it ten years later and have a totally different experience? The book I’ve read the most number of times is The Watsons Go To Birmingham— 1963, by Christopher Paul Curtis. I probably read it at least once a year from ages eight to fifteen or so, and every time I did, there was something new to appreciate. It kept unraveling itself in unexpected ways. You should absolutely read it right now if you haven’t already… or, as I’ve just come from saying, even if you have.
Such a lovely post Sofia. Real advice not sugar coated pills / overtly done books & videos. I loved the bit about dancing around in underwear, I dance & sing in the shower sometimes and it takes the sting out of my pain. Loves n Hugs for a lovely day, week, year ...life. :)
Brava (yet again) Sofia! Love your insights and honesty - especially the bit about how our lives come with us. A friend of mine once said the only way out is through, and I think that's true sometimes. A break is good, and sometimes the only way to immediately cope, but at the end of the day it's the hard yards and our everyday attitudes/choices that make our lives.
Such a beautiful message! Reminds me of Oliver Burkeman's Four Thousand Weeks as well. Thank you for this :)
So lovely and true. Thank you, Sofia.
