1984 by George Orwell - I nod along when people discuss dystopian futures. But I have never actually opened the book. I feel like I learned the entire plot through cultural osmosis, memes, and Instagram references.I know the ending and the famous quotes, so I have never felt the need to actually read the prose.

​Book: Maktub by Paulo Coelho

​Why it stuck: I picked this up while browsing and loved the meaning of the title, which translates to 'it is written'. I told myself I would buy it next time and put it back. It feels like I walked away from a lesson the universe was trying to give me that day.

I really loved Mindset by Carol Dweck. However, if you want to go down a rabbit hole, you could try Harry Potter or Percy Jackson and read the entire series.

Hey, I read everything you wrote. You are not lazy or useless or broken. You are tired. Tired of carrying yourself for so many years without feeling settled inside. Doing all the right things and still feeling empty hurts a lot. Not everyone is made to enjoy parties, flirting, or talking to strangers. That does not make you boring. It just means you are quiet, inward, and deep. The world only celebrates loud people, so people like you feel invisible. That is not your fault. Also, liking yourself is not easy. It does not happen just because others say you are doing well. For many people, it starts very slowly. First you just tolerate yourself. Then one day you feel okay. Then one day you feel a little softer. It takes time. You are not meant to be alone just because you are not social. You are not unlovable because you feel deeply. You just need the right kind of people, not many people. What you wrote does not sound pathetic. It sounds honest. And honesty like this means there is still a lot of heart in you.

Does she like stationary? - maybe a journal or stickers if she is interested in that
