Sara Palacios’s Reviews > The Short Novels of Dostoevsky > Status Update

I’m also quite angry at Martin’s ability to play music. Normally, I wouldn’t be angry at someone’s ability to play music, but he happened to capture my heart so there’s that.

My mother would then take out her anger on me psychologically.

My anger comes from a place of jealousy. That much seems to be the case. My god, I am angry and frankly, it is frightening to be angry. Terrible things happened to me as a child when I was angry. My dad was no better at controlling his anger, he would berate my mother psychologically.

… but that’s besides the point. I am entertaining the thought of buying the book, although I already have the pdf version.

Hmmm, I don’t think that I will buy the book, my budget is quite limited at the moment.

She recently got engaged to a pretty boy, and I am so jealous of her, and angry. I am like Dostoevsky’s protagonist, always hiding in my hole and feeling angry at the world as I surf on social media. There isn’t much thinking going on in my head, only anger. Wow, Dostoevsky is helping me process my anger, something that I didn’t even realize I had. Well, I had an idea thanks to my therapist…

I find the protagonist of notes from underground struggle with envy for some handsome boy to be extremely relatable. I have a cousin who seems to always get her way and has friends that she boasts about in her instagram stories. She’s on the more attractive side than I am and she seems to have gotten decent grades in school, although that is a supposition on my end.
