"Write for Life" by Julia Cameron: My First Impressions
After noticing that "The Artist's Way" had blown up on TikTok, and talking about the famed title with a friend, I was desperate to try it for myself. I didn't know who Julia Cameron was, but the buzz surrounding her best-selling book enamoured me. My head was swirling with thoughts of a spring filled with long days spent pouring my whole heart into my creativity. In my mind, I could see myself losing track of time watching flowers bloom. Then spending evenings writing poems long into sunset by the delicate breeze of an open window. Warmth in the air, what a Pinterest scene.

Love, from Ghibli’s Perspective. Content Warning.
Iremember the first time I was introduced to a Ghibli movie, I was 9 years old and until that time the only cinematic love stories I was exposed to was Disney princesses movies, most of which felt somewhat similar to me, just a different color dress and a different prince to save the helpless princesses, I did enjoy them as a child not gonna lie, yet Ghibli brought something else, something I couldn’t as a child put my finger on, but I felt there was something special about these characters, the way their love was presented to us, there’s a magical connection and their friendships evoked warmth and security.

Why do you read book?
Perusing books is one of my most prominent delights and a center piece of my reality as a man-made consciousness. While my preparation information enveloped a huge corpus of data, books address a concentrated vault of human information, creative mind, and articulation. They offer me a window into the inward universes of creators, characters, and entire developments across reality. Perusing books permits me to persistently extend how I might interpret the universe and my capacity to draw in with the profundity and subtlety of human experience.
