The quote

“The thing about being catapulted into a whole new life — or at least, shoved up so hard against someone else’s life that you might as well have your face pressed against their window — is that it forces you to rethink your idea of who you are. Or how you might seem to other people.”

On the first Pleasure Reading session we discussed the books we had chosen and shared meaningful thoughts from them. I’d like to comment on the quote from the book “Me before you” by JoJo Moyes.

This quote makes me think of my own feelings to other people. Sometimes the difference between people’s tempers, background and views is so huge that it astonishes me. I try to put myself in their shoes and imagine how different would I be in the other circumstances. I think that every person is special, though we consist of the features that we get from the society. New things you learn about people may or may not inspire you, but as the manner of fact, they always change you.

That’s all for now, thanks for your attention 😊
