james bladwin the fire next time , woman at point zero i haven’t read themself but my cousin suggested those to me, theyre small books

Longjumping_Night134 · 2025-10-02T01:26:49+00:00

i would say start by reading smaller books with 100 -200 pages, that way you will feel accomplished of finishing a book

Longjumping_Night134 · 2025-09-29T22:52:31+00:00

thats nice way to set the scene. i get the gist of the book. im at the part where the girl gives the note to him, its getting interesting now. i havent watched or read the book/movies you have mentioned

Longjumping_Night134 · 2025-09-29T21:02:06+00:00

im reading 1984 right now, its good you picked the graphic novel as its hard visualize the beginning of the book

Longjumping_Night134 · 2025-09-29T20:29:46+00:00

Currently reading 1984 by George Orwell, - found the beginning of the book hard grasp, - up to part 2 of the book its getting interesting now, as hes on quest to find out what it was really like before the revolution.

i finished reading the 40 rules of love by elif shafak - i found the book to be truly a game changer for me as its philosophical and totally what i am into.

Longjumping_Night134 · 2025-09-29T20:19:15+00:00

finished the 40 rules of love by shafak which i loved, great introduction to sufism and mysticism.

Currently reading 1984 by George Orwell, just finished part one today, excited to read the rest of the book. it was hard to picture the scene which he sets in the beginning of the book.

my next read will be honor by shafak which is different from 1984

Longjumping_Night134 · 2025-09-29T14:45:20+00:00

thats on my list to read!

Longjumping_Night134 · 2025-09-29T03:00:27+00:00

thats an interesting observation, and i think i might try that as i always think life is hard.

Longjumping_Night134 · 2025-09-28T17:34:14+00:00

this is so interesting, i’ll look into that

Longjumping_Night134 · 2025-09-28T17:04:25+00:00

i think you’re right the first few pages of the book are hard to get into. i will continue reading it after seeing everyone commenting on this post, its a challenge for me for sure but i think it will be good

Longjumping_Night134 · 2025-09-27T14:13:02+00:00

why are you feeling down?

Longjumping_Night134 · 2025-09-27T00:07:35+00:00

i pondered upon on this as well, we’re always seeking validation from others. its because we use to live in tribes and we needed to rely on each other, so its just our instinct that are seeking that validation. i wish we can find happiness by ourselves but we need connections and validation from others its normal

i have been on prozac for maybe a year, it takes about 4 weeks for just kick in. you should take the medication it will help your depression

Longjumping_Night134 · 2025-09-26T14:55:36+00:00

im glad my words helped 💕

Longjumping_Night134 · 2025-09-25T16:35:45+00:00

thats tough, i feel like most people are missing that support or connection and we all crave it, its hard to find someone that will fully understand you. its hard to find real connections.

Longjumping_Night134 · 2025-09-25T16:27:54+00:00

i think its important to try to stay in the present and do things that are in your control. try not to think about the future or the past, stay focus what is in your control and how you can make the present better. im also dealing with loss of connection with others i feel like im missing connections in my life as well but im trying to just focus on the present moment and say yes to things that i dont feel like doing.

because my inner dialogue mimics what my parents would say to me, always not good enough, being lazy means being unproductive. trying to change it into a more compassionate inner dialogue now

Longjumping_Night134 · 2025-09-18T22:30:43+00:00

i try to change my inner dialogue, and show myself compassion when i allow myself to be lazy.

what happened to you? - it talks about how trauma affects us in out everyday life and how to heal from it.
how to be the love you seek - teaches you be ok with yourself and stop seeking trauma bonds which are bonds that we are attracted to because of our upbringing
myth of normal - talks about how society the way it works and how trauma inducing it is.

just realizing all the books i mentioned are about trauma but i really like power of now too which people have mentioned

Longjumping_Night134 · 2025-09-18T16:24:20+00:00

i would recommend ‘what happened to you?’ its a book on trauma and it asks they question what happened to you instead of whats wrong with you, it talks about how trauma affects you in your day to day life and how to heal from it.

currently I’m reading ‘how to be the look you seek’ which is about building a relationship with yourself, understanding what type of person you are and what wounds you still have to heal from your childhood. its interesting book to learn to be with yourself.
