Love is not an exchange, love is an art!!!!!
The Art of Loving gives insaaanee insight into how we undervalue love & how we [incorrectly] navigate relationships.
Lots of hard pills to swallow w/ Fromm’s theories but I find myself agreeing with most :o
one of my fav works ever 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

So i have been on a mission to read books to figure out why i am kind of bad at the love thing and i am learning SOOOO much!!! this healing was so needed tbh i had kind of let things get to me and affect how i was treating people (romantic and platonic) and i want to do better. this book really solidified things in my head but also held me in a caring way. I have many more books in the chamber but i already feel so held accountable and so honest with myself it’s great

idc how basic this is, this book actually made me uncomfortable at first bc i realized i wanted to shut the fuck up and be a better person. i refer to it like the bible and force it on anyone like an evangelist. anyone who’s woo-woo minded like me will appreciate hearing about love as the important thing that it is while learning a new definition of it that restructures your life

I have bought this book for over 6 people as gifts and every single person has told me it has truly changed their lives. I cannot begin to explain the transformative potential this book holds for everyone who reads it. It’s exceptionally written and holds so many kernels of truth which give you so many “ah hah!” moments. That fact alone makes it worth a read. However, genuine fore-warning that it will make you question everything you have been taught & told to absorb as universally applicable and transcendental.

I’ve been going on walks lately & they’ve been helping my mood a lot. Usually this time of year I succumb to seasonal depression (or maybe just my major depression) but I’m realizing that I don’t have to be JUST sad. I can be sad while doing other things, like walking or writing.
I’m trying to do things I like & I’m trying to like who I am, even when I am sad.

My warmest memories happen in the Fall.
I feel like things start slowing down. Things get busier, but the air is cooler and lighter. There’s less pressure. I see my friends more often. And the days are shorter and maybe depression gets heavier but the drives are more scenic and the moon feels closer. The start of Fall has always felt like a new beginning. I think Fall is when my year really begins :)
