Week 1- Priyanka M.

I was listening to a self help book. The first chapter was titled, "[eff] self improvement". Although truly vulgar in it's name, it brought up a good point. This point was to realize while you can go about bettering yourself, know there are some limitations you'll have no matter what. Somethings will always hurt and others, like depression, are genetically installed in some of us. No matter how many collages, affirmations, or prayers you make, these things and many more in life can't ever be prevented or 100% "fixed". It's a cruel, pessimistic way to think about it, but the author brings up that this means we should work with what we've got. Don't strive for normal, but rather, look at the achievements made despite your struggles. You don't have to hit rock bottom to know you can strive for goals within your standards. Also, this author thinks a bad f-word in this world is "fairness"...
