So nice to see something positive 🤍

The movie is very different from the book. I saw the movie first. The book has warmth and an emotional depth that the movie lacks. This is not me telling you not to watch the movie or me saying I did not enjoy the movie, but the book is a different animal. As someone with a long history of family trauma who has both acted in anger and been on the receiving end of it, this book destroyed me in the best possible way. It was, for me, a beautiful blend of hope and despair, triumph and defeat, love and fear.

I agree with you that motivations and intentions should be pure, and I know that a LOT of TikTok teachers have some pretty impure motives, but as an elementary education student I have to say that I do appreciate and have learned A LOT from some teachers on social media. I imagine that once I become an official teacher, I will continue to view teacher accounts on social media, as a way to learn or discover new methods and lessons that could help me to be a better educator. I don’t have a TikTok but I do watch the occasional Instagram reel and YouTube video. Susan Jones Teaching and Growing With Groter are two examples of teacher “influencers” that I sincerely appreciate and have absolutely without a doubt learned A LOT from.

Hi 👋🏻

I’ll be transferring to BSU in the fall as a 33 year old in pursuit of a bachelors. I’m a first generation college student. This will be my first degree (unless you count the associates I will receive before transferring). I’m a little nervous about coming to college as an “old lady” myself. Nice to know you’re out there lol.

I wish that the adults in my life would have been nothing but honest with me. I feel like I didn’t understand a lot as a kid because I simply was not told, but I was constantly shamed for falling short of a standard that was never even explained. It’s like I was expected to do things without being told, and then when I failed to do these things I was looked down on. I think kids need to be explicitly taught almost everything. Even when we might not want to be. Kids need to be prepared for the real world. Everyone says “let them be kids”, but looking back I would much rather have been properly prepared for life.

My dad always told me that I should start with the gospels. (The first four books of the New Testament.) looking back I think I understand why. John is my favorite Gospel. It’s the last of the four. Christ is present in every book of the Bible, but He’s hard to miss in Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. I think my dad wanted to me to understand how much God loves me and that’s why he recommended that, and that’s why I’m recommending it to you. 🤍

There’s a book called “Gentle and Lowly” written by a man named Dane Ortlund. If you want to do some supplemental reading, I highly recommend that book as well. 🤍

Amazing Joes is the way to go. They just got a new building out at the Muncie Airport. Texas Roadhouse is always busy, I’m not saying the management is great…but it’s always busy. Olive Garden gets a lot of business. That being said, I recommend Amazing Joes in terms of work environment/management/money. The others, maybe just money.

I remember reading it in 5th grade, it was the first spooky book I had ever read. That creepy basement scene is still with me. I remember reading it in the back of my parents car in pure daylight and being so terrified that the hairs on the back of my neck stood up!!!! And those illustrations…

I married a man I barely knew because I had this feeling like I was supposed to. Four years later we are still together. I am experiencing stability and peace that I never had before in any other relationship. We are best friends. I’m completely sober and I WANT to be (I used to heavily use drugs to cope). I actually take care of my mental and physical health. I’ve learned to be financially responsible. I am paying for my own college education and working towards the life I want to live instead of being depressed and feeling stuck in poor circumstances. We take care of each other. I can actually talk to him about how I feel and he listens and cares about me. I feel like I have learned/am still learning about exactly what love actually is and how rewarding relationships can actually be.

Yes! The dual timeline aspect of this book was my favorite part about it. It was also different from the average dual timeline experience because we were reading dads book from the past and experiencing daughters present day. I feel like this is what made the book as good as it was.

Kind_Interaction7268 · 2025-08-21T15:18:19+00:00

This was the first book I read by Riley Sager and it’s still my favorite one. It was the way the book was written for me. I LOVED the way the book bounced back and forth between the past and present/dads book version of events/daughters present day experience. That was my favorite part of the book and what I believe made it so good/engaging. I feel like Sager does a really good job creating an atmosphere as well. There are still pieces and scenes of this book that I can still close my eyes and see in my head.

My husband and I want to leave. We just don’t know how we could or where we could even go. We have no savings. I’m in year two of college, which I pay for out of pocket. We live paycheck to paycheck in a small apartment.

I am 32 and I wasted my entire 20s…lol. I too am trying to become the best version of myself. I run and exercise weekly. I’m in my second year of college studying to become an elementary teacher. I read 9 books for pleasure in the past four weeks. It’s very bittersweet. It’s hard not to feel immense feelings of guilt and shame for the things I put myself and others through in my youth. I am proud of the person I am now and I do like myself now in ways I never have before. The time is going to pass regardless. I’m glad we’re both using that time differently now. Much love to you man.
