As a child, I read this book thinking of all the pretty people I knew, the ones getting all the good grades, who had all the designer clothes, Razr scooters, etc. The “popular” kids. I felt comfort in thinking that I am still special, regardless of those things.
But what about now? Here we are, as adults DOING THE EXACT SAME THING. We take comfort in validation we get from blogs like mine, ensuring that we are not the only ones who are a mess, or podcasts, or instagram accounts, or memes. WE put the dots and stars on OURSELVES day in and day out as we fill our lives with judgements and validation from the cyber world.
There is such a fine line between learning from each other for the sake of learning, and learning for the sake of feeling either less than or validated.
WHY do we all seek validation, or ⭐️ from someone else?
We are all inherently beautiful. We are all inherently special.
I think the world needs this book again. I needed this book again.
