Genuinely the most comforting book for any kid who’s felt deeply different. I’m definitely an old soul and this book felt like I was seen for the first time.

🚃I found this book at my friend’s apartment and we decided to read it, partially for fun and as a joke, but it absolutely wrecked me. It was a couple nights before I left London, after my graduation, and I was in the whole job hunting process and I was hopelessly lost!
There was something about this whole idea that even though the book was meant for a kid, I never felt more connected to it, at that point it felt like every line was perfectly tailored to how I was feeling. It’s also really interesting because I think it was his last published children’s book. kinda makes me think if he might’ve written it for himself as well, to cope with growing old?
I’m turning 23 in a few days and I’m right where I was (cluelessness wise) when I read this book several months ago… I think it’s okay not having everything sorted and figured out, just because you haven’t yet met the goals you’ve set doesn’t mean you haven’t been constantly learning something. ⭐🤸♀️🧸💕

🐁flowers for Algernon fundamentally changed me in the sixth grade. I think I have read it every year since i was like 11 and I sob every time. I blame this book (and diary of a young girl) for opening my eyes to mortality in ways that shook me the core in a beneficial way. Also all of the Pete the cat series speak to me on a spiritual level.

⭐this book is so comforting for so many reasons. firstly, it is a very quick read (~100 pages), and secondly, it's main theme is learning how it is okay to be lost in your 20's or really at any age. it promotes the importance of transition periods rather than trying trying to escape the emotions. highly HIGHLY recommend as this book literally healed me <3

💭Red eyed, puffy faced, tear stained sleeves. But the nice man who works at the grocery store is giving out watermelon samples and they taste sweeter than they ever have before. The raspberries are buy 2 for $5, but only buy one. Keep the receipt. Walk and smell the boxes and tins and the perfumes of the mothers passing by. You'll remember who you are soon.

🚭I know baby, shhh. I know. You get so angry without it. You feel like it helps you. I know, shhhhh, it’s okay. Hold my hand baby. The nicotine is truly making your anxiety worse. It’s not reliving any stress, the same situations will make you less stressed once you’re not addicted. I know, I’m so sorry baby, it’s okay. Shhhhhhh. I’m sorry. The best way to quit is intense distraction, surround yourself with things you love and do not doomscroll, use your body. Do physical things every single day and notice how you feel better the longer you stay off nic. It’s okay baby. I believe in you. After like a week the cravings truly are manageable. But you have to want it. I want it for you. I want you to want it too.
