a farewell letter to Josi;

Dear Josi,

I can not believe that our first two years of college are over. Now that I'm growing older I'm starting to realize that time does fly fast. To be honest with you I have mixed feelings about this graduation. I'm both glad and sad. Glad; because I got to meet you and sad; because we are most likely not going to see each other again. I'd like to share with you a few things before that happens. You're one of the few people that listened to me whenever I had something to say (I loved our long conversations before, after and sometimes even during class!), you payed attention when no one else really did and that really matters to me. You ALWAYS told me to stay strong, believe in myself and not let other people get inside my skin (I really appreciated that!). I'll never forget the day you offered to take my place in an oral examination in class and shaved me from a very bad grade. You're one of the most well-spoken, nicest, kind and generous people I met in my life. It's sad to think that although we were at the same class for two years we only bonded to each other the second year of college. But that's life and no matter how bizarre and odd that might sound I do believe that everything happens for a reason.


I guess that sums up everything I had to say. It was nice meeting you, Josi. Thank you for making my time in college special. I wish life brings you everything you ever wanted. Please think of me once in a while 'cause I assure you that I will.

Love,
Kat.

 ps: Du bist Wunderschön!

rude;

Dear angel,

In today's letter I wanted to share with you something I wrote a few weeks ago. Everyone has those few certain people in their lifes that are up to no good. Altough it's not always easy to do so, soon or later you have to cut them out of your life in order to bring back the positivity and make yourself happy again.


- - You don't deserve me. All you do is complaining about your life while blaming me for every bad thing that happens to you. You always put me down and make my life miserable. I can't take it anymore. I'm not a punching bag. I have soft skin and I take everything personally. You are the reason that my anxiety increases constantly. I try to hold on, remain calm, talk less and agree in everything you say so I can avoid the drama. But enough is enough. Now I can finally admit to myself the truth that I was hiding ever since I met you and I can finally look you in the eye and say "I'm done, I'm so done with you." - -

Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl; book review

Dear angel,

If you've been following my blog for a while my obsession for books is anything but strange to you. It was about a few days ago that I realized that I haven't posted a single book review since the day I started blogging which is definitely something that's going to change in a few moments from now on. Grab your favorite cold drink and make yourself comfortable because another post of mine is about to begin..


{ Book Review }

As the title already says this book is diary written by a 13 year old Jewish girl named Anne Frank that was hiding with her family for two years at an old's office building loft from the German conquerors during the Second World War before her mother, her sister and Anne herself were killed by the nazi occupation of the Netherlands on September 3rd 1944 in Auschwitz (the notorious extermination center). The entire book is filled with "letters" dedicated to Anne's imaginary friend, Kitty.



I've been craving to read this book for a while, in fact it has been in my reading list for a couple of years. My childhood best friend gave this to me on my 18th birthday without even knowing anything about my bucket list.


personal opinion;

I adored all those feelings the book gave me. It was so interesting reading about a person's life before it ended so cruelty. Anne's diary gave me a better perspective about everything that's being going on in the continent where I live (aka Europe!). Anne's diary is fairly considered one of the world's classics since it was translated in more than 60 languages. In case my opinion means anything to you this book definitely deserves its own place at your library.


Don't forget to smile,
xoxo MacQueen98.
