Hello, lovely people. Just checked out with these two books at Amazon. I've really been feeling the need for a reread of The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath (I don't think I've read it since sophomore year in high school? Yikes) - and a dear friend shared Where Will You be Five Years from Today? after her ever-thoughtful mom gifted it to another mutual friend for her graduation (eye, have I lost ya here?). I've decided I need a plan vision for myself and for my life for the next few years (5 sounds good, right?) — most often, I am comfortable with and have faith in trusting the universe, but also want to write down and remember what drives me now, ideas about how I can persue my passion(s), and subsequently hoping to get a good kick in the butt to discover and move forward with what I truly want to do. We simply can't have all of the answers now, but it doesn't hurt to grab life by the horns a little bit every now and then (note: this is for better and for worse such a me perspective — I know and admire the host of other driven individuals who are always making shit happen for them — I whole heartedly admire this, but am more prone to finding a balance somewhere between fate and personal responsibility). Circling back — THESE are the reasons why a book like this appeals so much to me. As for The Bell Jar: it's exactly what I need when I want to connect with myself and humanity again in a way that is as easy as turning a page.
"I felt my lungs inflate with the onrush of scenery— air, mountains, trees, people. I thought, 'This is what it is like to be happy.'" - Sylvia Plath, The Bell Jar
