Silver Linings

Hi.

I know I have not been updating as I am avoiding people to know what I am doing lately. I am still running and doing what I think it's right. I've since read 2 books and I am going to buy my 3rd tomorrow. I want to share this 2nd book that I just finished reading with you.

Silver Linings by Matthew Quick. I picked this book by chance during one of my birthday celebrations last year. I remembered it was raining outside and I was an hour early for my appointment. I went straight to Kinokuniya and started to 'shelf-shopping'. I went from the comics section to the literature area. I know I need to find a 'happy' book. I rejected books that looked 'sad' or I kinda got a feeling it's bad ending...

I believe I was pacing up and down for a good 45 minutes before I saw this book, by chance. I grabbed the book and turned to the back cover and read the introduction. This book has been made into a motion picture starring Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence. As my relationship had just ended then, you would know how much this book actually spoke to me.

The apart time. The closure. The need to change one self. To be a better person. All the key words in this novel spoke to me. I read it as if the words would jumped out at me and emphasized on the matter. I called this book my healing book.

At first, I was reluctant to read it. I was hoping for a happy ending. But as time goes by, I was hoping the ending would be something different. I actually do not want the lead to reconcile with his wife. You read it and you will understand.

I'm dying to write on this space but you know Internet is a bitch. Haha. I been writing somewhere. In papers. Maybe someday, I transfer them over to this area. It's late and there's work. That is another story I could write whole day and night.

I'm waking up early to run tomorrow. Take care.

Good night.
