a list of people, some book recommendations, some pics, some vids.

Updated people list. People I admire for their political and social stances, ppl who are cool writers/authors, ppl who seem to be justice-oriented (no matter how that manifests in their lives/endeavors), and ppl who seem to be pursuing cool things in their life. I make these lists evry so often :3 I like to do these and post them online at my discretion 😉

I love these ppl. They give me life-

Book Recommendations ⤵️

One book that has helped/is helping me out of some difficult times, and negative feelings: The Untethered Soul. This book is cool. I like books about spirituality, and using negative experiences to find peace. Finding peace not in spite of negative experiences, but because of them, in many ways. Using painful experiences to open you heart more, and transcend to higher states – ones you wouldn’t have attained had it not been for those difficult times. Idk, I guess that’s how I would describe this book – or at least an aspect of it:
