Obrigada Namjoon por recomendar esse livro ?
"What do I wish for? I want to love and be loved. Without suspicion, and with ease. That?s it. I don?t know how to love or be loved properly, and that?s what pains me."
No início, boa parte das sessões de terapia tiveram impacto em mim, isso porque acabei me identificando com algumas neuras da autora e talvez, só talvez, eu devesse procurar terapia.
Eu entendo por completo agora o porquê do Nam ter recomendado esse livro, as reflexões, sentimentos, evolução...
Livros que contam histórias reais sempre serão 5 estrelas pra mim e já como eu não sei o que escrever na resenha vou flodar de quotes.
"Psychiatrist: You keep obsessively holding yourself to these idealised standards, forcing yourself to fit them. It?s another way, among many, for you to keep punishing yourself."
"Things will get better with time. Or no, everything is dynamic, which means life will have jump-for-joy moments as well as bad ones, going back and forth like the tide. If I?m sad today I?ll be happy tomorrow, and if I?m happy today I?ll be sad tomorrow ? that?s fine. As long as I keep loving myself."
"Me: All right. I feel like I talk about the same problem every time. And you always give me the same answers. I don?t change myself, which is why the same problems keep coming up."
"The social gaze is so insidious, and despite any escape being impossible, I want to escape it. But I don?t want to deliberately become fat, either."
"It?s Okay, Those Who Don?t Face Darkness Can Never Appreciate the Light
I tended to discoun."
"This book, therefore, ends not with answers but with a wish. I want to love and be loved. I want to find a way where I don?t hurt myself. I want to live a life where I say things are good more than things are bad. I want to keep failing and discovering new and better directions. I want to enjoy the tides of feeling in me as the rhythms of life. I want to be the kind of person who can walk inside the vast darkness and find the one fragment of sunlight I can linger in for a long time.
Some day, I will."
"Because the human heart, even when it wants to die, quite often wants at the same time to eat some tteokbokki, too."
"Fencing myself inside myself, not meeting anyone, not sharing anyone, that?s just making a castle out of ice"
"This is why I like people who draw answers from me without even asking a question, or who seem to answer my questions before I even ask them. This connection gives me the warmest of feelings."
