Anyone that loves age-gap romance, where the female lead is older should read this. Very interesting.🤭

POEM Life drifts like the morning wind gentle today, fierce tomorrow. We walk through joy, we stumble through sorrow, learning the shape of our own strength. Dreams spark in the quiet moments, hope grows in places we once feared. And even when the road bends harshly, we rise again, carrying light through every shadow.

I want to read more about male friendship. It's hardly ever seen in this our "men shouldn't be emotional society" So I would love to read about it if I can't see it. Anyone knows a book on this? A great friendship.

Wrote about one of my favourite kisses. Go kiss a writer. Art is an unyielding fire or something like that

My 3.75 star review of Tomorrow I Become a Woman If you want to be angry. If you haven't felt anger at a book recently and that's a feeling you're looking for, please pick up this book. I sighed so much, I hissed, I silent screamed, I dropped it in frustration and opened it again in anticipation. Tomorrow I Become a Woman tells a story through 20 years. It follows Uju as a young woman, just entering her adulthood. We see how she is pressured into an early marriage by family and society, and navigates love, marriage, and the unrelenting expectations that come with being a “good woman.” This is a story about how love can cage you. How family can wound you in the name of duty. How womanhood, in all its beauty, can sometimes feel like a punishment. But it’s also a story about strength. There are moments where you see Uju begin to understand what is happening to her and how she almost breaks free, but the unrelenting weight of expectations and fear of societal shun always takes her back to square one.

3 years ago, I decided to start buying physical books. I can no longer find the first book but I randomly decided to rearrange my little bookshelf tonight and I'm so proud of my little collection. These books are my most prized possessions. I've cried and/or laughed in most of these. I love most of them, others not so much. But I'm so happy I decided to take that little step in 2022. Looking forward to growing older and finally owning my own home with a library and maybe I'll build an actual public library, who knows? Anyways here's practically my life in books😊💓

some days i’m full of life. some days idk how to exist. some days i love my hair. some days i wanna burn it. some days i’m grateful. some days i’m ungrateful. some days i’m confident. some days i’m scared shitless. i’m stuck in a limbo of self-love and self-loathe. who am i? my identity is lost. i no longer recognize the person i am, nor have the memory of who i was or used to be. countless paths lay before me, yet i can’t find a suitable one to walk—or rather, muster the strength. i am cognitively crippled; my soul is detached from its host. it’s monday again, and here i am, questioning the ‘why’ of it all.
