I sent a love letter to the guy I loved the most. Just to find out later that he was a narcissist, already married and had children, so cruel! He faked love and made future-faking about a family with me. I was speechless when I found the truth. Nothing can compensate for this aching pain. I am now 42, but try to find ways to go abroad alone to convince my brain that I was dead and this is a new me in a new life.

I have never read an Ann Patchett book, but I adore Ann Patchett. I was a bookseller for many, many years and I miss connecting with customers. Also, I’ve been to Parnassus Books, and it is great — though I’m not the target market. Bless Ann Patchett and every single bookseller and librarian in the world who work toward putting books into the hands of those who need them.

Admittedly, I am impressed by Ann Patchett’s hearttouching speech and want to share some citations that I consider we should rethink:
– The ability to listen to another person is the essential skill for all human beings.
– Reading is steadfast companion.
– Books are rocks on which I built my Mosque.
– If you want to customers, you have to raise themselves first.
– You can speak out against book banning.
– If you want your children to be readers, model that behaviour.
– Novels teach empathy by putting us into another person’s life.
– Reading may feel strange and bizarre at first, but stick with it.
– Reading shines a light that disrupts dark isolation.
+ I would thank you all for READING !!!

I consider myself terrified of zealots. I’m now exploring this a bit deeper – I’m terrified of people who believe and act in the way “The end justifies the means”. So if people are zealous about their journey in living, embodying kindness and other abstract values in daily life regardless of results, that can actually be pretty inspiring.
