^ this is the exact reason I have been so gravitated toward reading. I find that visual and audio inputs are way too realistic and overstimulating for my expansive imagination. I will be affected by some action scene that took place in 10 seconds for a few days after and even then it lingers.

I always have trouble recommending a book with hard topics because I know they’re not “fun” to read about, but I do think it’s so important, and it does help me personally form thoughts on things happening in the world. I’m glad it resonated with you!
Definitely adding The Book of Essie to my tbr!
