Reading the foreword and first chapter of my favorite book for you:
Toni Morrison’s „The Bluest Eye“, a story about a young black girl who prays every day for beauty. Mocked by other children for the dark skin, curly hair and brown eyes that set her apart, she yearns for the blond hair and blue eyes that she believes will allow her to finally fit in.
📚📖
We often have the feeling that we need something more
That something is missing in our lives
A lot of people try to impress people that they don’t even like
They buy things with money that they don’t even have
But what matters is the love you have for yourself
And the love of your close friends
Taking care of each other
Being responsible for each other
And being responsible for your own well-being
There is a time to take responsibility
There is a time for things to change
Life consists of cycles
When you can’t see the moon and the stars in the daylight
It doesn’t mean they don’t exist
"Selbstbewusstsein ist ansteckend"
