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.

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 read this book right after leaving an abusive relationship, trying to figure out what love was for me and how i could see it in my recently shook up world.
bell hooks writes in a simple, honest language. it’s a beautiful, accessible book that humbled me and taught me how to love people and where find the love i desired.

They are super comfortable & wont phase out of the trend cycle like a samba, for example. I mean they are straight from the 60s! My last pair have lasted me 6 years until recently when the soles began to crack.
In my attempts to commit to less material consumption this year, it seems counterintuitive to post about buying new shoes but hear me out– I have been returning to the idea of buying what I know I like instead of what I might like and trying only to buy when I need.
