Books. Change. New beginnings.

Let me interest you in a book that might be one of my favorites; 101 essays that will change the way you think by Brianna Wiest. 

My sister gave me this book on a random day. To her, it might have been sharing books like we normally do when we don't know what to read next, but to me? This book became my very jipuragi. In Korean, it means a last straw (at least according to Vicenzo.) I read this book especially when I didn't know what I was doing with my life. Those days that felt heavy, and I felt lost.. for lack of a better word, I used to say depressed. Those days when I needed fresh perspective, maybe a brand new start. It saved me every time; if not immediately then eventually. 

These 101 essays range from 20 signs you're doing better than you think you are to how the people we once loved become strangers again to expectations you must let go of in your 20s.. there is one that fits every situation.  I certainly recommend it for the next time you want to learn more about yourself and whatever it is that is blocking you from having what you want or to change your life.

To say that I learnt and understood a lot is such an understatement because some points make more sense today than they did back then. Especially now that I embarked on a spiritual journey. You know the way you read from your Bible and at a seemingly perfect time a certain verse jumps at you? Same, baby, same. These words stick with you, heal, change and transform you if you let them.  

Brianna Wiest, all in all, is what I'd call an amazing author. I'm doing another read of hers; The Mountain is you and it has me hooked and ready for the person I'll be on the other side by the time I'm done with it. The weekend is here, get a copy, get comfortable and let's unwind. Together.
