A lot to unpack here and the little pea-sized brain in my noggin isn't up for it tonight at almost midnight after an eighteen hour day.
I have really struggled to put what this book is making me think and feel, how it's shifting inside me, into words and to be honest I don't think I'll try as it's too personal and would mean I'd have to open up about things I've lived through which I'm not prepared to do here, or online anywhere for that matter. Maybe if you read the book that will make sense although your experiences are different to mine, you're a different person, and so it'll be different for you I guess, as it would be with anyone else. The good thing is that I got to introduce a book that has great meaning, especially in this flawed and broken society of ours, and if one person picks it up and takes a read, hell, if one person sees the movie, maybe some good will come of it...maybe they'll think differently and maybe that'll make a difference.
That's the whole point of a good book, to shift some things inside and yeas like you said, I will read something entirely different out of it because I have different experiences, sometimes it takes a minute to sink in and verbalize it.
Most ppl struggle with opening up and that's a personal choice, it's neither good or bad, also why I think we read, so we can have these deep parts of ourselves disturbed to be analyzed quietly, sometimes it is our personal journey not necessarily for the whole world but it does feel nice to open up about certain things at times, keeping too much inside also isn't good, probably part of the reason the world is so messed up, everyone keeps everything inside until they are all eaten away to nothing and losing hope. Now ppl see me open up here about some weird things but realistically it's just the tip of the iceberg, the more comfortable nasty stuff I don't want to traumatize anyone either.
Your hopes are one par, Even if one person picks it up That's why we are here, to inform the ones who want it and yes that's a win. I plan on reading it...mission accomplished then...Just like that! 😆
LOL Better to be the iceberg than the Titanic...just sayin. Maybe some of this stuff needs to come out somewhere nonetheless you could journal it but just for your eyes only.
