Thinking...

"It was surprising

that you could spend hours in the middle of the night 

pretending things were OK, 

and know in thirty seconds of daylight 

that that simply wash´t so."

- Gillian Flynn, Dark Places 

Today I wanted to talk about an issue that is rather important to me so I thought it was about time to sit down and write a little. 

Quotes like the one above mean a lot to me because they show me that everyone - even people and especially writers that I truly adore - seem to be having those thoughts and feelings sometime. It is human to feel a little down and pessimistic from time to time! 

I have been struggling with accepting this for a long time so I thought that writing about it could possibly have a positive effect on my ways of thinking. 

Trying to get better at thinking in a more positive way can be a long road but we all are going to have to walk through it at some point in our lives. There will always be people or situations that will be dragging us down but as soon as we have a better view on life and the things around us it can get easier. 

IT GETS BETTER!!!!!! 

I know many many people already said it and almost everyone hears or reads this - or something similar - from time to time. And I know that it is difficult to accept it. I always thought like this as well - sometimes I still do. I felt like this was just an easy thing to say when you don´t want to deal with something... 

But what if we didn't see it that way? What if we started using that as some sort or mantra? 

I think that would make it easier.

For me it does. And I hope that some other people could think about it that way as well! 

Lots of love, Sara! 

Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn - Book Review

On a warm summer morning in North Carthage, Missouri, it is Nick and Amy Dunne´s fifth wedding anniversary. Presents are being wrapped and plans are being made when Nick´s clever and beautiful wife disappears. As the police begin to investigate, the town golden boy parades a series of lies, deceits, and inappropriate behavior. Nick is oddly evasive, and he´s definitely bitter - but is he really a killer? 

There aren´t many books that make me feel the way I felt whilst reading this book. 
It is clever and interesting and shocking at the same time so that I always wanted to keep on reading. But then again I sometimes was too shocked or thrilled so I had to lay the book aside for a little while. This mixture of feelings is exactly what I need a good book to be. 
Also the changing narrative perspectives make the book even more interesting and confusing which I liked best about it. 
I definitely recommend it! 

I´s been 5 months and I still think about you every day. 

I wish you felt the same. 

But you never did and never will. 

And I´m the only one to blame. 

A lonely night´s thoughts. 

Sometimes - on lonely nights like this

with too many thoughts and too little sleep 

I feel as if my friends aren´t even involved in my life anymore.

And it is making me start to wonder 

if this is the way we´re truly supposed to be.

If this is what being independent and growing up actually means. 

And then I wonder 

if this way of thinking

is what actually makes me so lonely at night.
