is what I used to think when I was a teenager. I hated learning history because I was forced to memorise uninteresting things, and I hate uninteresting things. I always used to say, why are we looking back at the past and not more into the future?

Oh, how silly and simpleminded I was.

Snce then, I grew up to be an adult who is politically involved where I can, because everything is politics. Yes, even our entertainment. I failed to see that as a teen, but I don't beat myself up for it. I just have to make up the time. I grow to be someone proud of my roots, proud of where my ancestors were from, proud of myself.

Now, especially since I moved so far away from home I'm really interested in history. How humans lived, how places and cultures were born, how politics were always and constantly involved in every decision made up to this date.

I would love to read more non-fiction books, and I would love to start with history. I think the certain topics I would really love to learn most about would be: Southeast Asian history, Women, British Royal Family (not particularly in awe, but in what they have done), Capitalism, Industry, War, etc.

Please drop your recommendations for me to have a look at! I would appreciate it very much :)
