Big fan of Aula, so I had to read her book. She was very honest about her own journey of self-discovery and depression.
I almost lost it reading the “Summer” story. 🥺
“There is a societal myth of “having it all.” It’s the one that says we are supposed to have great jobs, which are also our life purpose and passion, visible abs, successful children, clean houses, doting spouses, and perfect eyebrows. But eyebrows get over plucked in the early 2000s and never quite grow back. Human beings can never be perfect. At some point, every last one of will weaken, come apart, and die.”
“Whatever it is that you know you must do to reconcile your life with your death. Do it. Do it today. And don’t stop until you get enough.”
