Things We Forget

  • Quiet

    I picked up Quiet by Susan Cain, and it’s comforting to see introversion framed as strength instead of flaw.

  • I’m finishing The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, and it’s teaching me that reinvention is always possible.

  • Circle

    I’m reading Circe by Madeline Miller, and it’s reminding me how much power there is in becoming your own person.

  • Becoming

    I’m halfway through Becoming by Michelle Obama and loving how she owns every version of herself—past and present.

  • Dune

    I’m reading Dune, and it’s weirdly motivating to watch characters survive impossible circumstances with grit and strategy.

  • The Body Keeps the Score

    I picked up The Body Keeps the Score, and it’s validating things I never had words for.

  • The Alchemist

    I’m reading The Alchemist again because sometimes you need a reminder that your life has direction even when you feel lost.

  • Atomic Habits

    I’m deep into Atomic Habits and catching myself noticing all the small decisions that shape who I’m becoming.

  • Educated by Tara Westover

    I just started Educated by Tara Westover, and it’s reminding me how powerful it is to rewrite your own story.

  • I’m reading The Midnight Library by Matt Haig, and it’s making me rethink every tiny choice I’ve ever dismissed as unimportant.
