[BEDA 2/30] [BO#02] My opinion about the book The Midnight Library by Matt Haig

-
I read the book in 3 days, for me it is really fast because I was reading in English and I am not usually reading at this language. Although I got so immersive on the author writing in all the troubles and thoughts of the character, that it made my mind reflect about a lot of things.

Nora the principal character and the point of view of all the story commit suicidal, this is on the first 2 lines on the first page. She is a 35 years woman that doesn't see a way of living on middle of so many regrets.

I was thinking about me as Nora. She had panic attacks, depression and anxiety. But she knows how to play the piano and she had a Degree in Philosophy, I want to learn piano and I don't have any degree. This is one of my regrets.

The Midnight Library is a place where the books represents one different life. Where she could pass for all the lives she wanted. During this her journey she realize so many things and with her I picked me up thinking about my regrets. What would be in my book of regrets? I think I will try to wrote about this in the future.

Her story made me think about the lives that we live not for or own self but for others. I need to think more deeply into the perspective of what life I want to live for me.

It was not a book that got me so emotional that makes me cry. I didn't cry, it was not a five stars book for me, but I got it into my favorites. I want to reread this next year, I think this is a book that make more sense for me because of my life moment.

It was more deep to me, because I have the same feelings and sometimes I keep imagining how another life could be. A future that maybe not will exist.

This is a book that is not only fiction because the imaginary midnight library, but it a little breather for those who was not seen another perspective, or any possibility.

I enjoyed reading it book. It is a little bit superficial in some parts, yes, but at the same time it could not be so deep. I think it is not perfect, but it could be good enough in a lot of ways.

I want and I will have a green notebook and a Orange Fountain Pen as a symbol of keep trying to write a life existence that I enjoying to live.

I AM ALIVE

Being a Turtle, my learning process

This image isn't made by me but it means a lot to me. This week I talked with a Psychologist in English, and it was tough to speak about my feelings in another language. But in the end, it was good. This picture is a reminder of this day and the phrase on it and the animal represented on it means a lot at this time in my life, and I will explain why. Well, like I said in another post, I am 30 years old now, I am not so young and I started to learn a new course again. I never finished one course before, so I really want to finish this new opportunity. Because of this feeling of not wanting to give up again, I asked for help.  I am saying this because I am feeling a little turtle during this journey. I am a really slow learner, in the past I felt guilty because I was not like the others and I wanted to be like the others and I blamed myself for not being. At this time I am trying to understand that I am slower than the others and it is not a problem, and it is more important to embra

My Hogwarts house changed!

Avatar from Wizarding World When Pottermore started I did my quiz there, and the sorting hat put me in Gryffindor House, I accepted that and for years I believed that I was Gryffindor. But, a big BUT here, everyone that I have said that I was Gryffindor told me that I look like more as Hufflepuff. And I asked myself about the possibility of being it.  Because of this, I tried the official quiz again yesterday, now is not Pottermore anymore is Wizarding World. And to my surprise, the sorting hat put me in Ravenclaw House this time!  Was really surprising and I swear that didn't try to manipulate the answers.  Just to be sure, I did another quiz, bigger than the official website test, I did it on Reddit which can be found on this link   and the result was AGAIN RAVENCLAW!  In the future, maybe at this time of year in the next year, I will redo the test, to be sure what house will be.  This video  helped me to understand better what a Ravenclaw student represents. I didn't think

Project Playing Guitar

  When I was 12 years old, I asked for a Guitar as a birthday present, and my parents gave it to me. Then I started to do classes for 1 or 2 years, and when I was 14 years old I stopped the classes and never returned to do it again.  Why I am saying this? To be clear, I stopped the classes because I was embarrassed to be heard by someone, I always had the sensation that I needed something perfect to deliver, if it was not perfect I didn't want anybody to hear it.  I was obviously frustrated because my guitar didn't sound harmonious, now I know that it will sound horrible at first because I am learning! But just because I know that I am learning it doesn't make it easier to accept that fact and it keeps being frustrating. Nowadays I still being embarrassed to be heard and to make some mistakes. So, in the past, this sensation limited me, because I didn't practice at home to my guitar sound better! I never felt that I learned it. For changed my belief that I don't kno
