I've finished it a few weeks ago and I'm still thinking about it . Her life was so wild and made me not take things superficially cuz this woman was suffering at the same time as her fame peaked.

shit was absolutely bonkers and tragic. fascinating to listen to her read it and it's written as if she was the age she experienced these things. idk how a parent gets to this place of abuse but w o w

good companion piece to her films and good on its own if you don’t know who she is. Very sad and raw the most emotions I’ve felt in months.

just finished the maggie gyllenhaal audiobook which was so entertaining. so well written and so insightful into the minutiae of being a girl. the magnifying glass she uses to describe her surroundings and feelings! she can't sleep and she can't read! the metaphors!!! so tragic to think how she overcame this but still came to such a sad end :( and even worse to think of how hard she was on herself and how revered she is now

Cassandra, a trojan princess, who could predict the future but was cursed so that no one would believe her. Which leads to troy's fall. Clytemnestra was the wife of Agamemnon. While he was away at war, she took Aegisthus as her lover. When Agamemnon returned from Troy, she killed him to avenge the sacrifice of their daughter Iphigenia. Later, her son Orestes killed her in revenge. I also have favorite romantic myths like: Eros and psyche Orpheus and Eurydice Apollo and Hyacinthus Achilles and Patroclus Penelope and Odysseus

A friend had recommended me this app to block Instagram and TikTok so i could stop doomscrolling and fix my attention span , and read or watch a movie in my free time . And honestly it's one of the best advices I've ever received.
