Books

No Channel Channel.

something I’ve been struggling to put into words lately is how disconnected I feel to the media around us in movies, books, etc. 

like everytime I go to a contemporary book store, all I pick up is novels involving various tragedies of abuse, r@pe, death, poverty, struggling artist etc. and I’m not *trying* to find them, it’s just everywhere 

It just gets to a certain point where I don’t want to re-traumatize myself of all the stuff I’ve already experienced in life and still go through?? It’s not like I need escapist euphoria either but it seems reflective of how people want to feel or are being conditioned to feel and I just feel disconnected lately

I also wonder if this is something that is representative of a democratic victim identity mindset? Like I genuinely wonder how someone who is far right has felt over the last 4+ years when it comes to finding media they consume. 

not necessarily saying this is a bad thing either, I think these stories are important in their own way

Inspired by this, I started a Feel Good reading list on @fileverse. 

I can't promise that the books won't induce the occasional tear, but they don't do so due to trauma. 

I'll add to it as I come across more wholesome novels. Also, feel free to recommend some :D
