Allow me to re introduce myself! Hi, I’m Summie. 🤎 Reader. Writer. Book lover. Book influencer. I’m here to talk about books, stories, writing, and everything in between. If you love good stories, you’re in the right place.

Please, we need Help!!

Send me an anonymous message today?? I will be waiting. ngl.link/summie83719

The human mind, when left without proper occupation or direction, will turn upon itself. It will revisit the same anxieties, rehearse the same unresolved questions, and dwell upon feelings that have not been properly examined or named.

life is not as neat as we pretend it is. Some people find love early and others find it later. Some people discover their purpose at twenty and others spend years trying different things. Some people seem to know exactly where they are going until life changes everything.

I hope I never become so familiar with disappointment that I stop expecting good things. I don't want the world to make me cynical. I want to remain someone who can be realistic about life and still get excited about new books, a good conversation, or the possibility of tomorrow.

We spend so much of our lives trying to prove that we are special. We want our lives to mean more, our stories to be different, our existence to matter in some extraordinary way. There is beauty in simply being human, without needing to be remarkable.

A world without books would still have music, conversation, art, photographs, memories. But something would be missing. Where would the stories of people who lived before us sit? Books are one of humanity's most beautiful ways of refusing to let experience disappear completely.

Somewhere in the world, someone is living through a day they will remember for the rest of their life, and everyone around them thinks it is a typical Tuesday.

Anyway, who sent me?

Again and again, life will ask you to make room by letting go of the things you thought you couldn’t live without. When it is time for you to grow, life has a way of creating discomfort where you once found peace, pushing you away from what you have outgrown. Let go. Travel light

Character is revealed clearly when there is nothing to gain. It is how people treat someone who cannot do anything for them, how they speak about people who are not around, and what they do when nobody would ever know.

My Current Read. All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr. I picked up this book because of @Prezain_LJ, who shared a little review of it, and it piqued my interest. I’m looking forward to discovering what the rest of the story holds.

If I ever become one of those old women who forgets what day it is but can still talk for three hours about a novel she read in 1978, please let me be. I have a vision for my future.

The older I get, the more I want to read. Too much is happening in this world for me to stay this curious and this uninformed. I have questions, and unfortunately, Google and ChatGPT cannot answer all of them.

Books have made it difficult for me to believe that people are ever just one thing. That's why I find real people fascinating. Everyone has context. Everyone has things you haven't seen. Sometimes understanding someone means a person is rarely as simple as their worst decision.

Money doesn't solve everything, but having enough of it can remove unnecessary stress. Being able to handle an unexpected expense, help someone you love, rest when you're exhausted, or make a decision without calculating whether you can afford it, that kind of security matters.

Yes. Notes on Grief by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie It was the first book I read in 2025
