So I don’t know if it’s because I’ve worked really hard at putting myself in a better headspace mentally, but I catch myself getting annoyed with the author often LOL. I think if I would have started this book a few years ago when I was doing bad mentally, I would have probably related to a lot of the grievances being brought up. But right now, I’m having a hard time enjoying the book LOL.

“Sometimes the best thing to do with people who would never listen to you in the first place is to avoid them altogether. To right every wrong you come across in the world would be an impossible endeavour for any one person. You’re just one person, and you’re putting too much of the weight of the world on yourself.”

“Why are we so bad at being honest about our feelings? Is it because we’re so exhausted from living that we don’t have the time to share them?”

“If you want to be happy, you mustn’t fear the following truths but confront them head-on: one, that we are always unhappy, and that our sadness, suffering and fear have good reasons for existing. Two, that there is no real way to separate these feelings completely from ourselves.”
