From all the feelings fed inside of me, I knew that I would explore them through a book. I've spent lately weeks searching for a book that could enable me to discover myself while jumping around from sentence to sentence. I've been hearing a lot about TSHOEH but for some reason, it never clicked.

Until I read the first words getting along without even noticing. I really loved the feeling of consuming theses words as if my life depended on them. This was the book I was searching for: one that reminded me of the cosy experience of abstraction, one in which I could dive without fear, one so damn elaborated that even the little mistakes would look like premeditated.

Evelyn is such a badass. Her humanity inspired her to take decisions that a regular human could have never. She got the guts, the core, the strength to act even against her own wills just to get wherever she wished.

I inhaled one or many sentences with grace. And certainly a little seed of Evelyn is now implanted on my mind so I can never forget to check on my desires. Life's about that: respecting my soul before putting others in front.

I need to think more about this.
Don't know for how long.... but no doubt that'll never abandoned me either!
