for me when I read this first chapter how I feel is well I mean this is kind of a silly

worry about I just feel emotional I feel emotional yeah I have big feelings I think

that that longing that terror of wanting to add value to life and also I think even if you haven't been at some place in your life to feel this way but feeling like you can reach a place of just

exhaustion and acceptance of what your role is.

This book is one of my favorites from when I was younger.

I don't know when it was published now.

I'm trying to find the exact copyright date,

one of Michablam's, you know, one of his earlier books his first book was actually I believe

fan of my job,

since I was little, and this book in particular,

so now it'll be fun to analyze it with a deep lens.
