Where did I go?

This book was actually not as difficult as I thought. At first I was too angry with the aliens to really enjoy the book, it took me a lot longer to read than usual. I was angry with the presumptuous nature of the aliens, their arrogance and how they rationalized stealing some one's life. However, the more I read, I could sort of see a bit of their side, but it wasn't until the interactions began with Melanie and the stash of humans they found that I took interest.

I don't want to ruin this for anyone as it's a bit more popular than my last choice, but I will tell you what I got out of it. Having a sense of self. Knowing exactly who you are. Finding and caring for yourself. Taking time out to care for others and care for yourself. So many things were possible for Wanda because she was so sure in who she was. She never slipped into thinking she was anything other than a soul in a body that didn't belong to her. She was overly caring and protective to a fault. I get that a lot.

I was inspired to take some time for myself. Start small and find a bit about me. I've been in a rut for a while now, the same things day in and day out, so caught up in helping others and my routine that I haven't had time for myself in a very, very long time. So, the next good weekend of weather we have I'm going to go hiking. I love hiking and I almost never go because no one will go with me. I think it's dangerous to hike by yourself, but maybe that was just an excuse. I'm going to spend the weekend doing what I want to do, going where I want to go and eating whatever I feel like eating. Starting small, I'm going to find me.
