Take this book home today.

I am as tired as those who are close to me are tired with my feelings of insecurities, anxiety, and meaninglessness. I have thought of many things to be instantly okay. But, I have come to accept that these emotions do not calm just like that. I have to help myself. I know time will come (or probably, time has come!) that my family and friends who know me very well will get exhausted from dealing with me. And so, I listened to myself, to the turmoil that's been broiling inside me telling me I have to deal with her.

I thought of doing two things: one is to sit in one corner of a coffee shop, write, think, reflect, and find peace in my aloneness in writing; two is to buy a book that will speak to me and tell me how I can help myself. 

I did the latter. I bought a book. A book that doesn't look appealing. But the title appealed to me. The back cover even called me and actually talked to me.

A line from the back cover shouted at me saying, "Take this book home today. Read it. Let it calm your turmoil..."

And so, look forward to sharing with you insights I will be getting from reading this "Healing Wounded Emotions" by Martin H. Padovani.
