Crying in H Mart by Michelle Zauner
5.0
"Mommy is the only one who will tell you the truth, because Mommy is the only one who ever truly love you."
This was such a beautiful and sad book. Michelle Zauner deserves all the praise for this.
I haven't lost anyone myself, not in a long time, but this book made me appreciate my family so much more. I have days/weeks were I feel like I have to distance myself from my family, to get some time to figure out stuff on my own. But in hindsight, I should probably spend more time with my family. You only have one life and one family. And I would feel terrible if something happened to one of them.
I especially related to the fact that she kept herself busy, so that she did not have time to be sad.
"It wasn't about the money. I wanted to stay as busy as possible. I wanted to work my body as hard as it could go so there was no time to feel sorry for myself (...) maybe I was just afraid of what would happen if I slowed down."
^I do this A LOT. Especially if I'm in a depressive state. I would rather work everyday, making myself endlessly tired, than actually dealing with my problems in a healthy way...
I will probably visit this book again. I started annotating in the beginning, but by the middle of the book I just couldn't because I felt so sad. Fuck cancer.
