**Re read 2025**

This is still so good. I’ve been deep in my healing recently and have found myself drawn back to Emily Henry and Kennedy Ryan and Ali Hazelwood, but I seriously think it’s because I’ve never connected to deeply to characters who hold hard and complex things in the midst of their strength. Like. 

I am learning that I am strong, and my strength is truly something remarkable, but also, I haven’t ever been given many chances to be weak. To be the soft. The gentleness of of knowing that we’re actually a little soft for all of it. Taylor was in to something in “Sweet Nothing” - heard sis. Heard. 

Anyways, these re reads are also a way to me to recognize that I somewhat knew I wanted to be a more comfortable person in my vulnerability - and, I also am recognizing that I’ve grown like these characters without the added deep connection with another human. I feel like I’m deepening that connection with myself. 

And it’s good and hard and honest. And it’s :,) - anyways, I fear that her next book will end me.
