finally got the chance and energy to open a book again, and damn i feeel a slow burn coming. there was a moment where i felt EXTREMELY uneasy at the thought of winston...living a normal life? reading how oppressive this govt is makes it kind of numbing in a way. extremely nervous about the girl from the fiction dpt and i dont see a happy ending for winston, not in his lifetime anyway.

as i get to know winston and his place of work, its really unsettling to see how easily the truth can be "rectified." all we know is based on the knowledge that has been told to us from branches and branches of sources, each with their own potential of falsification or bias. im sad school started bc i wish i had more energy to get through hours worth of pages in one sitting.
