I find reading YA as OA (old adult?) a challenge unless it is fantasy based. I am just not invested in contemporary teenage drama. HOWEVER. I'm hooked on this. It seemed pretty draggy at the top but all of a sudden i started to care. I think it was probably around the introduction of Terrell's character - super charming/ Also, I don't trust Belle.... Looking forward to finishing.

Do you have any particular characters you would wish could meet? I like to think somewhere, some time, Grace from Project Hail Mary ran into Pinkman from Breaking Bad in Alaska. After all of the terrible things that happened to Jesse (I'm not saying he's excluded from the blame) I think it would heal a part of him if he met a peaceful, passionate, science teacher who is hopeful for humanity. ESPECIALLY, if he got to see Grace teaching his students. !!SPOILER!! If they got to know each other and he found out Grace saved the world it could bring back a character that has seen the worst in someone and I think he deserves to see the best in someone. END SPOILER (I'm well aware of how terrible of a person Jesse is but I had this thought and now I can't do anything with it because I'm not an artist, or an author) 🫪

For 3 days, I was able to break a habit out of doomscrolling at night and falling asleep without the use of my phone. Ended up breaking it and got me feeling a lil slumped about it 😔

But !!! I can now reflect how my mood and mental state had felt amazing in those 3 days than it has been for months now. I began to appreciate the little goals in my life and how I want to focus more on my positives than the negatives.

So, as motivation to get me back (and hopefully motivation for y'all), what's something recently you've done that made you feel proud of? A little goal of yours or something that gave you a nice refresh, feel free to share ♡

Everyone deserves a congratulatory bouquet 💐 no matter how small or big your positives were, you all still got up to achieve it
