I finished my book, finally! "Wintergirls" by Laurie Halse Anderson, is probably one of the most life-changing books I have ever read. It changed how I see myself, as the beautiful, imperfect creature I am. I have been getting real into self-help books in hopes to expand my knowledge and understanding of the world of psychology.
I want to help people change their outlook on life. I want to help those who are broken and lost. I know how it feels to be hurt and upset and broken for lack of a better word. I also understand the warped, demented thinking of many mental illnesses. Having and being in recovery from Anorexia-Nervosa can definately change the way you see life.
I used to think that I was just here to live for myself. There was way too many material things blocking my thoughts on what is real and what is merely an allusion. All this stuff, it's all an allusion. It fills people's heads and gives them this fake perception of what life should be like, luxurious and rich. I believe that we all want to fill a void. Either we are unsatisfied with ourselves, our surroundings, or our life's outcome. Whatever it may be, we want to feel better.
Instead of trying to fill that void, shouldn't we fix it? Change your life instead of having all this stuff give you fake joy, which is only temporary. All the world needs is less reactive people, and more proactive people. That is what has got this world in such a rut. If we could all stop being critical, try reaching out, and doing things at are more honorable, I really do think we'd all be a little happier.
Love is all we need, and I really do believe that. It's what we were put here for in the first place.
