#25 Of looking for answers within yourself
“The universe buries strange jewels deep within us all, and then stands back to see if we can find them.”― Elizabeth Gilbert
Gentle reader,
This month, a note to keep looking within yourself -
“It never occurred to me that I am living life with my sense of self scattered around the globe.
It never occurred to me that I no longer felt uncertain of the future. How could I? You are right there, smiling back at me.
It never occurred to me that all I had to do was keep chasing the story in my heart.
It never occurred to me that I had to accept a past of yours that doesn't belong to me.
It never occurred to me that the city of dreams can also sometimes become the town of tough love.
It never occurred to me that there are so many beginnings that are so unaware of what they are about to become.
It never occurred to me that while your heart roars, shifts and cries for new beginnings, you will meet the best version of yourself on the road. So let your story speak for you, let your words travel through places.”
Recommendations Corner
Last month, I finished reading Taylor Jenkins Reid’s Malibu Rising - a gripping blend of sun, surf, and sibling drama. Set in 1980s Malibu, the story follows the Riva siblings—children of famous singer Mick Riva—over the course of one unforgettable day. As secrets unravel during their legendary annual party, Reid masterfully explores family bonds, fame, and personal reinvention. With vivid atmosphere and emotional depth, it’s a summer read that lingers well beyond the final page.
Quick Verdict: Glamorous, heartfelt, and addictive. ★★★★☆
Until next time :)
