The Half of It by Madison Beer
4.0
"It took me a while to realize “getting better” isn’t about preventing myself from ever encountering negative emotions. It’s about building my toolkit and having practices in place so that I can handle the lows better; it’s about understanding that experiencing those bad days doesn’t mean I’m reverting or losing progress, but simply that I’m human. It’s all a balance. Healing isn’t linear."
i've been a fan of madison for almost ten years -- the start of her career. i knew, like most people on social media, the surface level negative attention she received; i never knew it extended the way it did. i think it's commendable how vulnerable she makes herself in this book, while still reserving pieces of herself for herself. what she chooses to share resonates with people who aren't in the position she's in, too, which makes her advice and voice all that more accessible.
in what she chooses to share, she delivers her point of doing what she says is her new life purpose: reaching a hand comforting hand to people, a hand of encouragement and a heart full of love. this book makes me an even bigger fan of madison and makes me excited for all the other things she has in store for what i hope is a long, and much happier, career. <3
