    It took me a long time to finish this book. But I think without the workload from school, I could’ve finished this in a day. 2 days tops.

It’s beautiful in a non-conventional way. I could relate so much with it. Especially about the part where Craig feels so pressured to be above average. I feel like that a lot. Like everyone’s so fucking smart and I feel like I’m the only dumb person here. Having to try so hard and still be in the ‘average’ level. 

A month ago I was having a hard time because a person (who used to be a really close friend) has been making me feel like crap because of my weaknesses. I let him in, allowed him to see myself in my weakest state, and he used that against me to make me feel even weaker. Reading this book, I learned that the weaknesses gave me the strength I have now. It gave me the strength to kick the assholes out of my life. I don’t care about my past, what’s important is what it made me to be. I saw myself in Noelle. I admire her. New inspiration. :)

People are screwed up in this world. I’d rather be with someone screwed up and open about it than someone perfect and… you know.. ready to explode.

Sometimes I think depression’s one way of coping with the world. Like, some people get drunk, some people do drugs, some people get depressed. Because there’s so much stuff out there that you have to do something to deal with it.

Updating my reading status.

My family just left for Qatar and is now in the clouds travelling. <///3 This means that I have more time to read now. Limited, since school is about to start but still. 

I find myself taking long to finish Pride and Prejudice because I keep reading other books in between. I have no idea why I’m not devouring it like I usually do with all my other books. I like the story and all. I think it’s just a bit draggy. I don’t understand where the story is going yet and it’s taking too long. I don’t know if it’s about Jane and Mr. Bingley or is it about Collins or is it really about Elizabeth. I mean, Mr. Darcy is nowhere to be heard of and I thought he’s supposed to be the love interest here. I don’t know….. I’m sorry. :( I feel bad that I’m not really loving this book when I know that I should.

Anyway, I finally started reading It’s Kind of a Funny Story by Ned Vizzini. It’s been staring at me from the bookshelf for ages now. I find that I’m really like this one. I like how entertaining the protagonist’s thoughts are, setting aside the fact that he’s clinically depressed and has problems. 

Meanwhile, I’m hesitating with Wreck This Journal. I mean, it’s a very pretty journal and I don’t think I’m ready to ruin it yet. Even though it says ‘To create is to destroy’, it just pains me to start. I’m very protective with my books, I mean I barely let anyone touch them. I think it’s going to take me some time before I wreck my journal.
