i haven't journaled in a while because i do not have the motivation to. i should. but it's easier not to. in between distractions after distractions, this book felt like i was reading my own journal and picking apart my own brain. it's concerning how much like gilda i am. from the piled up dishes in my room to the hyperawareness of death. at the same time it's super comforting knowing this is also other people's realities. i should do something about it probably, but for now it's enough knowing i'm not insane. probably. ]]> ReadStatus9328368125 Sat, 19 Apr 2025 16:14:45 -0700 <![CDATA[salwa wants to read 'Victorious']]> /review/show/7502067865 Victorious by Victoria E.

salwa liked sam's review of Everyone in This Room Will Someday Be Dead:
Everyone in This Room Will Someday Be Dead by Emily R. Austin
"okay upon reading this a second time i've discovered my thoughts have changed (it's almost like i'm a different person from who i was in 2022 when i read this the first time? crazy)

i think initially i didn't understand the flow of this as much (i was also in a weird headspace life wise so maybe that is also a contributing factor) and that impacted my reading groove when i was reading this the first time

BUT upon my second reading i enjoyed this a lot more!!! i like the way gilda goes into her thought spirals bc that's really how it is ... so many thoughts!

"sometimes i wonder if i have really been the same person my whole life. i stare at this picture, and think: is that really me? i have this bizarre feeling like i was a different person at every other stage of my life. i feel so removed from myself then. sometimes i feel like i was a different person a month ago. a day. five minutes. now"

i have been doing a lot of mental reflection on how different i feel now from various stages of my life .. so much pondering about the passage of time and how my thinking has changed. i also think just the act of rereading this and having different thoughts is indicative of that . so i will leave with that. :) "
