I'm in my early twenties and I have always been an avid reader but somewhere along the line, I stopped reading physical books with exciting plots or beautiful stories. I started wanting something predictable, romantic and just the same plot over and over, maybe as a way to cope with anxious tendencies.
I'm sick of being stuck to some sort of screen, or watching videos on creating art (I love writing and music) but never doing it and want to be more present.
I'm looking for a book about life or love or art, anything abstract but applicable to my own life that will make me realise how beautiful life is, and how I can make something out of my own life.
The last book I read that was truly groundbreaking to me was 'When breath becomes air' by Paul Kalanithi (non-fiction) and maybe 'Me before you- Jojo Moyes(fiction).
I know both of these are kind of bittersweet but it's not the ending that matters, it's that feeling of something existing outside of my own mind and my overthinking.
I don't have a preference to fiction or non fiction, I want to be brought out of my own mind.
Thank you in advance!
