Finished "One Day"by David Nicholls this afternoon. Lovely book and a brillant writer. Cried like a mad girl towards the end. I adored every bit of it. Can't remember when was the last time I enjoyed a book to this extent.

Been a really long time since I last read a book, or went to Borders. Used to go there every weekend. Used to love writing too. I still do. But now I just don't have the time for it anymore. That's not true. Anyway, been too busy to find the time to read. But I'm gonna start reading again. Need to get my old life back. As I said, I hate this current self-loathing self.

Quoted from the book:

"You know what i can't understand? You have all these people telling you all the time how great you are, smart and funny and talented and all that, i mean endlessly, i've been telling you for years. So why don't you believe it? why do you think people say that stuff, Em? Do you think it's a conspiracy, people secretly ganging up to be nice about you?"

- Dexter Mayhew

Emma Morley resembles me, in some way, I guess.
Bottom line: I need to believe in myself, and also, gain some self-confidence.

Goodbye.
