This is a fiction book that tells a story about a young man who go on an adventure to seek out a treasure from a hint he found.
In the journey, not only he grows as a person, he also discovers love and wisdom. Sadly, he failed to find his treasure and thought maybe the experience is the treasure.
So he went back home, living his old life back. Only to find that the treasure he was seeking all along is hidden nearby.
It's a great closing. And the moral of the story is we always try to look for treasure outside, while it is always inside of us. But the experience that we encounter outside will made us realize the treasure inside.
The Alchemist is a fiction book with beautiful narratives, filled with magical stories and deep morals that changed my perspective in life.

Finally read this book after hearing about it for years. It’s definitely a must-read that makes you think about life more if you’ve been on auto-pilot.

First book I read as an adult outside of academia that I actually went back to read again. Super easy read, even a 7th grader would say it’s simple. In this book you will learn to speak the language of God through our interactions with the world. 10/10.

the two major irritators of a migraine in my experience are light and noise. my recommendation is that after taking advil (or tylenol etc), put your phone away, go to a room where you think it will be the most quiet, preferably where you can lie down, like your bedroom (i know it can be hard; i myself live in a loud and dysfunctional household so i also have to put in earplugs but earplugs are also another thing that may help!) turn off all the lights, close the window shades (you may want to wear an eye mask) and just lie down there like that for a long time. It's ok if you don't end up calling asleep; the main goal is to keep you away from stimulators like light and noise for long enough that the migraine hopefully feels a little better. This may not make it go away completely but it does at least help. Afterwards though, try not to make an immediate jump back to looking at screens, walking around, talking, lostening to things, etc, because it might be so jarring that your migraine immediately relapses. I hope this helps and I hope you feel better soon!! Sending best wishes; I know your pain and ur not alone 😭

My great grandfather (the father of my mom's late stepfather) is Clancy Hayes. He was a relatively famous banjo player and jazz musician in the mid 90s; idk if anyone's heard of him here though! His music even was broadcasted on the radio and you can find some videos of him on YouTube.
... Also, my great great grandfather on my mom's side I think supposedly invented the machine that made Corn Flakes, (but sold the invention as well as rights to invention to make money for his family; I don't think he has any interest in the rights or being famous, which is fair --I mean it's a corn flake machine for gods sake, also in this world money can feed you far better than fame can!!!!) Unfortunately no one other than my family will know the person who invented the corn flakes machine was my great great grandfather 🤣
