Sometimes, I still feel like I'm waiting for my life to start.

Hello, livejournal. Long time, no see.   After something like 5 years away, I'm writing here again.

Am I even the same person who started this journal?

Emily I am only going to ever ask you for one thing in this life. Only this once am I going to say, for ME and for YOU, please can you do something for me? I know I sent you a book awhile back that you never read and that is fine. BUT there is a book that you MUST read. It is going to take everything you wrote on here, break it down, and make you realize why you feel this way. It is going to help you get stronger, it's going to help you end suffering and it's going to give you valuable information to help give to other people.

It may look on the outside like a self help book. That's one thing I don't like about it, the way the cover looks and the name. But don't feel fooled.

The name of the book is "A New Earth" and it is written by Eckhart Tolle. It is the single most important book ever written. I truly believe that. It is my favorite book and it has changed me so quickly in ways that I cannot explain to you. I just can't even say enough that you need to read this book. You are still in there. You are still you. You are still Being. But you're layering it with fear, with outside expectations of what you were TAUGHT life is supposed to mean. And the more you listen to those things, the more you listen to that negative voice in your head, the more you will get wrapped up in this emotions and lose your sense of CORE. The true essence of who you are.

This is the only thing I will ever ask of you. Read this book.
