People Change
by Vivek Shraya
emotional
inspiring
reflective
fast-paced
after having read almost all of vivek shraya's works, i now conclude than her writing - not only in terms of form but also subject - just rly clicks w/ me. here in people change, it's as compulsively readable as ever.
i initially planned to blithely walk while listening to the audiobook, but after the first 2 chapters i had to give up on that bc it was impossible to not bookmark sth every few seconds, for how thought-provoking or wise or fresh or contrarian they were.
the latter is esp true in regards to the book's themes of change, of how it's not always a scary but a necessary thing, how growth is borne from it, how multiplicity should be embraced instead of committing to a forever where one remains stagnant, sometimes to their own detriment.
