When he said, “If I ruled the world, the first thing id do id concede all power to the real king, who in case you don’t happen to know, is named Jese Chris.” I feel like he wants everyone to remember who he is.
A notes for your notes….. Intention over all, in reading. The author’s, and yours.
Be patient with the one telling their story. Don’t expect them to narrate how you prefer stories to be narrated…
I love this!
Enjoy, my new friend. Cheers.
By reading these past three essays, my note for tonight is don’t judge a book by its cover.
yes even the title did not lead me to expect the contents
Also for tonight’s page….. Patience in getting what you want as a reader, with a given text, will only empower you as a reader, make you not just a better reader but a more felt and perceptive reader.
You want to be a stronger writer, start with reading, and reading SLOW.
Making yourself read and write when you don’t want to will immediately make you strong and more versatile in both efforts.
Something on my notes tonight is just keep writing, no idea is dumb.
Yes. And if anyone labels one of your ideas, thank them and be more assured in and proud of your ideas.
Yes! Will keep this in mind

Some days there are more than others. A positive outlook and appreciate is more valuable than anything else.
Well one point of view that I found so far in my readings is that he likes nature.
Have a good weekend!
Hes got a lack of relationship with his father and this is quite disappointing, it is as if he internalizes all that makes him feel doubtful within himself. This writing is cathartic and this journey too. He is able to step back and have to humor he did not have when he was young. He writes in a simplistic and approachable way about complex subjects. These evoke in me similar feelings. He brings sensitive matters to the forefront and particular his lack of relationship with his father or perhaps not the relationship he wishes it was. The humor helps it to be more easily read.
