4 books recommended by 4 of my closest friends. Already spent hours with #JiaTolentino’s crazy smart #TrickMirror and even had to cancel a Pizza date because I couldn’t stop. Next one will be #OliviaWenzel who is said to be a literary genius. My bookseller of trust also thinks I’d be stupid not to read #MaryMacLane who was too radical in style for 1902 and is getting re-discovered now. This book is said to be „the heart cry of youth not yet at home in the world“. Well, hello. Last but not least I’ll finally get to know french writer #AdelineDieudonné everybody is talking about. Summer, I am ready for you ️ #whatiread #bookstagram

During the past month, I have been painting a lot, because it’s the one thing that keeps me distracted long enough. Usually, my mind and feelings go to dark places pretty quickly (mental illnesses are confusing af), especially when I’m alone which is why I have started painting in the first place. It helped me to focus on sth good instead of letting my mind go down that rabbit hole. Also: i am very thankful for all the people on here who are so open about their struggles with mental illnesses, it honestly helps me a lot and makes me feel less alone in this + I learned a very (maybe the most) important rule: your mental illness does not define you. (oh and: treasures by my beloved @outofuseberlin of course)
