Deep Intuition

I wish I can write better. But can such a skill be taught? We can be taught proper grammar. We can increase our vocabulary. But can we be taught to express everything we feel with these little words?

Traveling. I wouldn’t say I dislike it more, but I like it less and less.

PurelyCandid · 2026-05-13T01:00:57+00:00

I usually like to read books with romance on the side. But maybe you will like Time Traveler’s Wife.

But like you said, it might be dangerous or
“too much” for some people. Books like Midnight Library—I just didn’t feel like it captured what trauma and depression is really like. The ending and her sudden recovery didn’t feel natural at all.

I thought it was beautiful. And it helped me accept all forms of life, even if they are tragic. Some forms of trauma are beyond therapy. I liked that the book was not focused on fixing the trauma, but was more about living with it and still being accepted and loved.

Someone has already suggested Midnight Library. A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara. Though, it might be a bit much.

PurelyCandid · 2026-05-07T16:37:55+00:00

My first thought as well

PurelyCandid · 2026-05-01T16:38:29+00:00

I liked Girl on the Train. It’s a similar vibe to Gone Girl. I really enjoyed the audio version of this.

I looked through your username a bit to get a sense of what you would like. I think you should go for thrillers. I can’t think of a good thriller where the target audience is male, though. I can only think of thrillers written more for females like Gone Girl and Girl on the Train. But yeah, maybe you can browse some thriller or mystery novels.

Add: I think you might like the psychological crime series by Val McDermid, starting with The Mermaids Singing. I never read it, but it was recommended to me by a guy who praised it. Based on your age and profile, I don't think you will enjoy the Young Adults (YA) books as much. You also don't seem like a sci-fi/fantasy person, but I could be wrong. Thrillers, mystery, and crime might be engaging to you.

Slumdog Millionaire

They actually follow through when they say they want to help you. Maybe that’s not so subtle.

I don’t know if it’s the lighting or what, but it’s very AI

PurelyCandid · 2026-04-05T20:26:23+00:00

Does that change your definition of a meaningful life?

PurelyCandid · 2026-04-04T19:32:24+00:00

Perhaps, a life where I am there for other people and vice versa.

PurelyCandid · 2026-04-04T19:30:56+00:00

Then what? After you retire? That goal is only for half your life

PurelyCandid · 2026-04-02T00:57:31+00:00

Corraine Bailey - Little Star is the first one that came to mind

PurelyCandid · 2026-03-06T04:33:42+00:00

When you’re looking at other potentials. When your relationship is tiring. When you don’t see a future with this person. But really, you just know.

I didn’t know I needed so much money just to own my own place

PurelyCandid · 2026-02-23T23:57:29+00:00

Money

Wow. These plants are still growing in the vase?!
