I was emotionally alive until 17. Then things happened. A lot of events. I just numbed everything. Now 7 years later, I'm in a better environment. I have the opportunities, the intelligence and the the talent to live good. Help others and yeah. But I don't have any emotions that I can use to find a reason to LIVE. Currently I'm just going through the motions of life with a grayscale filter.
Thanks 🙏🏻

i would suggest the books : poor deer by claire oshetsky; and i who have never known men by jaqueline harpman. i’ve recently read these books and they are real think pieces that might bring some meaning to you 🙂
Do you want things that are happy, or just that provoke strong reactions? Any favorite shows/movies/genres to give a starting point?
With nothing else to go on, Code Name Verity is a beautiful book about friendship set during WWII that I actually reread, even though I know it’s going to make me cry again. And, I learned that there were female pilots during WWII.
If fantasy is more your thing, Laini Taylor’s Daughter of Smoke and Bone is intense but ends well, and has a pretty unique world/premise.
If you want less intense, lmk – I wasn’t sure from the description
A Man Called Ove – Fredrik Backman
