Monthly Wrap Up - February 2024

 

Hello! Welcome to a new tradition I am starting on my blog - a series of monthly wrap-ups - which aims to get an overview of all the stuff I've been doing for the past month! This includes the shows I've watched, books read, songs that were put on a loop until I've got every word of it memorized. and every events of my life that is worth mentioning!

Anne Of The Island

This book is like a Bible to me, in between Anne's journey to getting an M.A. degree, the laughter of the girls (and Aunt) at Patty's Place, and the series of romantic and unromantic proposals, are weaved in between with words of wisdom, and descriptions of nature that tinted a rose coloured view on my perception of life. Every time I finish an L.M. Montgomery book, I find myself 150% more optimistic than I was 3 hours before. Maud's writing has that spell on me. 

I find myself being consoled by the fact that some of my own worries are experienced by Anne too, it's like reading advices from an older sister. And it makes me feel less alone in my struggle to adulthood and living up to the principles I have set on myself. 

Do you think, Diana, that being grown up is really as nice as we used to imagine it would be when we were children?
'I don't know -  there are some nice things about it,' [...] 'But there are so many puzzling things too. Sometimes I feel as if being grown up just frightened me - and then I would give anything to be a little girl again.'

'I suppose we'll get used to being grown up in time,' said Anne cheerfully. 'There won't be so many unexpected things about it by and by - though after all, I fancy it's the unexpected things that give spice to life.'
